Circle of Protection (Wizard Spell)

By means of this spell, the necromancer inscribes a circle of protection (usually with magically prepared chalk) to which he "ties" a thaumaturgic triangle into which a demon or spirit or elemental may be summoned by other spells. Inside the circle, the wizard cannot be hurt by the summoned creature, nor can that creature be loosed except by the wizard's will. An Intelligence check must be made to determine if the circle was properly inscribed. The circle (along with any other merged inscriptions) may be temporarily neutralized by simply rubbing a break. In this way, no creatures may find their way into the wizard's plane, though the circle may be easily restored by casting a restore circle spell and inscribing out the break. The material component for this spell is some incense to be burnt, worth at least 1,000 gp.
