==Description==
==Gameplay==
The caster applies this spell to a single creature or self if desired - use the targeting cursor and "click" to select the spell recipient.
After the spell casting is finished, the caster has a brief necromancy spell school casting graphic render from their hands, and the recipient shows a white energy "strength" 3D graphic on their sprite, along with an audibled sound effect.
A party character will show an icon (No. 90) titled "Negative Plane Protection" on their portrait for the spells duration - when the spell expires another sound effect will audible.
This spell bestows the recipient with protection to the Level drain effect for the spell's duration - for example, the energy draining blow from a Vampire or Wraith, or the wizard spell Energy Drain.
This spell can be removed from the recipient with any applicable Dispel Magic effect, but a Breach spell won't touch it.
*This spell has a short duration; the following equipment grants the status indefinitely while equipped:
** Amulet of Power
** Upgraded Mace of Disruption +2
** Runehammer +4
** Upgraded Spectral Brand +5
** Upgraded Angurvadal +5
* You can also evade level drain by not being hit with the draining attack in the first place. For example, Protection From Magical Weapons will protect against level drain effects tied to monster or weapon attacks (like Vampires), whereas Spell Immunity: Necromancy is one example to protect against level draining tied to spells.
==Trivia==
The Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition priest spell Negative Plane Protection differs in a number of ways from the BG video game spell version.
It has a 1 round casting time, and the protection lasts for one turn per level of the priest casting the spell, or until the protected creature is struck by a negative energy attack.
The negative plane protection spell opens a channel to the Positive Energy plane, possibly offsetting the effect of the negative energy attack. A protected creature struck by a negative energy attack is allowed a saving throw vs. death magic. If successful, the energies cancel with a bright flash of light and a thunderclap. The protected creature suffers only normal hit point damage from the attack and does not suffer any drain of experience or Strength regardless of the number of levels the attack would have drained. An attacking undead creature suffers 2d6 points of damage from the positive energy; a draining wizard or weapon receives no damage.

When a Negative Plane Protection spell is cast, the recipient receives complete protection from negative energy attacks. This spell also affords the recipient partial protection from monsters with Negative Energy plane connections (such as vampires) and certain weapons and spells that drain levels. A protected creature is immune to any form of level draining for the duration of the spell, though they will still suffer normal hit point damage from the physical attacks, if applicable.
