Naach-Tith

The Barrier of Naath-Tith (also known as the Wall of Naach-Tith or Naath-Tith's Barrier) is an incantation that provides a barrier to protect against or contain evil forces. Complete version may only be found in the library of Celaeno or in the Fourth Book of D'harsis. It first appeared in Brian Lumley's "Dylath-Leen" and features heavily in his other stories.
This Barrier is often employed by the summoners of Yibb-Tstll to protect those within from the god's possible displeasure. For this reason the Barrier is referred to as Soul Sealing in a number of magical texts (the English Book of Eibon mistranslates this as Soul Searing).
== Description ==
To work this spell one must go around the area that needs to be protected, returning to the starting point, chanting the words as one goes. The words required to raise the Barrier are relatively obscure and may prove hard for the enterprising sorcerer. The Latin translation of the Cthaat Aquadingen mentions the spell but only in passing. Most copies of the Liber Ivonis contain the correct formula though it is missing from the English translation. The spell may also be found in Chapter Ten of the Unaussprechlichen Kulten.
The result is an invisible forcefield of great strength. As well as being used to create protective fields the barrier can also be used as a temporary means of imprisoning an entity. It has even proven capable of holding a Great Old One captive on several occasions. Casters should be careful lest the Barrier prove a prison as well as a safeguard.
