Protection from Earth (Priest Spell)

The effect of a protection from earth spell differs according to whether the caster or another creature is the recipient of the spell. In either case, the spell lasts no longer than one turn per caster level. Also, this spell does not confer the ability to freely move through stone or earth.
If the spell is cast upon the caster, it grants complete invulnerability to damage and wounds inflicted by stone and earth (thrown stones, falling rocks, earth elemental attacks, crushing stone walls, avalanches, being buried alive, and so on). The invulnerability lasts until the spell has absorbed 12 points of earth damage per level of the caster or one turn per caster level (whichever comes first), at which time the spell is negated.
If the spell is cast upon another creature, it reduces damage sustained by earth attacks by 50% and confers a saving throw bonus of +4 to the die roll versus such attacks.
The material component is the priest's holy symbol.
Notes: Rare for planar priests. Unlikely to be learned except through visiting the Inner Planes.
