Abjuration [Good] (for good-aligned casters)
Abjuration [Evil] (for evil-aligned casters)
Range: Touch
Target: Defensive
Syntax: cast protection <target>
When cast on a good-aligned target, wards the target against attacks by evil
opponents. Such attacks suffer a penalty to hit the affected target.
Conversely, when cast on an evil-aligned target, wards the target against
attacks by good opponents.
Attacks from neutral-aligned opponents, or attacks from any opponent when
cast on a neutral-aligned target, are unaffected by this spell.
Regardless of their alignment, the target is also protected against magical
charms and domination effects.
* Protection is a shorter-lived, personal version of Magic Circle, and
will not stack with it. Attempts to cast one while the other is in effect
will fail.
