DESCRIPTION

This spell creates a magical barrier around the target at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the target.

• It grants a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by chaotic creatures.
• It immediately grants another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) with a +2 morale bonus against any spells or effects that possess or exercise mental control over the target. If successful, such effects are suppressed for the duration of this spell. The effects resume when the duration of this spell expires.
• It makes the target immune to any new attempts to possess or exercise mental control over it. This doesn’t expel a controlling chaotic force (such as a ghost or spellcaster using magic jar), but it does prevent them from controlling the target.
• It grants immunity to the attacks of chaotic summoned creatures until the target attacks such a creature. Spell resistance can allow a summoned creature to attack the target normally.
