Circle of Protection

• Rank 4 Holy Spell
• Prayer name: St Faxis’ Abjuration
• Duration: 12 Turns
• Range: 10′ around the caster

A sword of glowing light manifests and inscribes a 10′ radius circle around the caster, leaving a shimmering ring of light which moves with the caster. The caster and all allies within the circle come under the effect of a Mantle of Protection, warded against attacks by Chaotic creatures as well as creatures created or summoned by magic.

AC and Saving Throw bonus: Those warded gain a +1 Armour Class and Saving Throw bonus against attacks and special powers of affected creatures.

Magically created or summoned creatures: The prayer additionally prevents such creatures from making melee attacks against those warded, though they may still make ranged attacks. If any of the warded party engages such a creature in melee, this protection is broken (those warded still gain the Armour Class and Saving Throw bonuses mentioned above).
