Protection from Gas, 5' Radius (Wizard Spell)

All remaining within this globe of protection are immune to toxic gases, poisonous vapors, and similar hazards. The 5-foot radius sphere is centered on and moves with the caster. Harm­less vapors that only obscure vision are unaf­fected, and the sphere has no effect on gaseous creatures. The degree of protection depends on the caster's level.
At 7th level, this spell protects against gases of non-magical origin and those created by 1 st­and 2nd-level spells (such as stinking cloud). Against other magical gases, the protected crea­tures receive a +2 bonus to any saving throw al­lowed.
At 9th level, immunity is gained to magical gases created by spells of 4th level or magical creatures of less than 8 Hit Dice.
At 12th level, the protection is extended to spells of 6th level and creatures of less than 16 Hit Dice (such as a gorgon's breath). At 15th level, protection is extended to all such effects except those that are of demipower- or artifact-level origin.
This spell's unusually short casting time allows its rapid use when toxic gas is detected.
Notes: Uncommon for abjurers and air mages; otherwise, rare.
