DESCRIPTION

The ofuda glows a deep red whenever an infernal approaches within 30 ft. of the ofuda. The power of the sutra holds any infernal at bay as long as the creature has less hit dice than the caster’s character level. The caster need not hold the ofuda after activation, unless he does not have a Charisma bonus. He must remain within 30′ from the ofuda, or it will immediately cease working. Infernals affected by this sutra cannot approach the ofuda and must stay outside their Reach.

Duration for this sutra is measured in Time Units equal to the effective spell level + the sutra caster’s sutra ability modifier. For example, a 7th level contemplative monk with a Wisdom bonus of +3 that casts this sutra would cast it for 6 minutes (effective spell level is 4 + 3 from the sutra casting ability score modifier).
