Sacrosanct (Priest Spell)

This spell is commonly used to keep unautho­rized persons out of temple vaults and holy areas. It protects an area that is outlined by a radiant glow during the spell's casting, but the glow fades upon the spell's completion. The protected area is spherical, centered on the caster, and has a radius of 10 feet per level of the caster. Once the casting is complete, this designated area inter­cepts all intruding beings (other than the caster) who are employing magic or psionics that allow them to travel astrally, travel ethereally, or translocate (in other words, teleport, dimension door, and the like) as they enter the area, pro­hibiting them from seeing into or introducing anything into the immobile area and redirecting them to a random location elsewhere in Faerun.
The redirected being always reaches this new destination safely. It cannot be chosen by the caster of the sacrosanct, but it is viewed by every­one in the protected area, all of whom also receive a general idea of its distance and direction – as the redirected being reaches it. A clear, detailed, but translucent image of the would-be intruder – or rather, the outward form of that being, which can be a disguise – is also displayed to all beings in the protected area as this occurs.
The material components are a small mirror or reflective item and the eye of an owl or other crea­ture able to see in dim light.
