Effect: This spell allows the caster or any other eligible creature touched to be partially protected from an undead monster that has an existence on the Negative Material Plane (such as a shadow, wight, wraith, spectre, or vampire).
The dweomer of the spell
opens a channel to the Positive Material Plane,
the energy from which helps
to offset the effect of the undead creature's attack.
The recipient is allowed
a saving throw versus death magic if he or she is touched (attacked) by
an undead creature.
Success indicates that the
recipient takes normal hit-point damage from the attack,
but does not suffer the
drain of experience that would otherwise take place.
In addition, the undead
creature takes 2-12 (2d6) hit points of damage
from the Positive Plane energy.
The magic is only proof
against one such attack,
and dissipates after that
attack whether or not the saving throw is successful.
If the saving throw versus
death magic is failed,
the recipient of the spell
takes double the usual physical damage in addition to the loss of experience
that normally occurs.
The spell will also protect
the recipient from the effect of a magic-user's energy drain spell,
but in such a case the magic-user
is not affected.
The contact between the
Positive
and Negative Planes that this spell brings
about will cause a bright flash of light and a sound like that of a thunderclap,
but these phenomena do not
cause damage in any event.
The protection will last
for 1 turn per level of the cleric casting the spell,
or until the recipient is
successfully attacked by an undead monster.
The spell cannot be cast
on the Negative Material Plane.
