Protection from Spirits (Priest Spell)

When cast, this spell creates an invisible barrier around the recipient, preventing most spirits from entering the area of the circle. Lesser spirits cannot enter this circle, although they can still Are mis­siles and magical Veils into the area. Lesser spirits have a -2 on their chance to hit and the characters gain a +2 on saving throws from such magical attacks. Greater spirits can enter the area if they make a successful saving throw vs. death. Only one save is allowed per spirit and an unsuccessful save indicates the greater spirit cannot break the barrier. Greater spirits suffer a -1 on all attack rolls and characters inside the area of effect gain a +1 on all saving throws from their magical attacks. Greater spirits that penetrate the circle also suffer a -1 on all saving throws.
The material component is a ginkgo wand with paper prayer strips attached.
Notes: Common for priests from an oriental setting; otherwise, very rare.
