Repulse Undead

Repulse Undead is a 5th level spell available to Cleric/Paladin classes in Baldur's Gate II and the Enhanced Edition. 
==Description==
==Gameplay==
This spell is cast upon self only.
After the spell casting is finished with an abjuration spell school casting animation, a brief lighting effect renders on the caster, and the spell's effects radiate from the caster for a little more than 1 turn duration, and a sound effect is audibled.
A player character will show an icon (No. 66) titled "Repulsing Undead" on their portrait for the spell's duration - and a second sound effect will audible when the spell expires.
At the beginning of each round, for eleven rounds, the spell's powers radiate from the caster in a 10-feet diameter affecting any Undead creature (friend, neutral or foe).
The spell applies a Wing buffet effect, or "knockback" as it is referred to, upon the undead creature(s) in the area of effect - a brief red colored "splash" lighting effect may render on the creature each time it is forced away, along with a sound effect. 
The knockback moves the creature away from the caster up to 25-feet distance, and the movement takes up to 3 seconds for the creature to travel that distance - the knockback force doesn't cause the undead to fall over nor does it cause any harm to them.
Depending on the configuration of the area map, any objects and map features present will come into play - for instance, an undead creature forced away from the caster might not seem to move at all if it's sprite is right up against an immovable object/wall/closed door etc.
This spell can be removed from the caster with any applicable Dispel Magic effect or a Breach spell.
An undead creature can potentially block the spell's effects with their Magic resistance, should they have any.
This spell will be ineffective versus some undead, such as a Lich, or demilich due to their spell power level immunities.
==Trivia==
The Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition ruleset has no spell titled Repulse Undead - the spell is a creation by the developers for the BG video game.
The nearest equivalent PnP priest spell is Repulsion, a spell granted by the drow goddess Lolth, although it doesn't specifically target the undead, and of course also has several differences from the video game version.

OG Repulse Undead 2.png|She gets close enough to an undead group, and the spell's power affects any of the foul creatures within range.
OG Repulse Undead 3.png|The effects of the repulsion are mixed, as the area map's configuration factors into whether an undead creature is actually moved away from her at all.
