Protection from Silver

(See also: Protection Spells)

The Planewalker's Handbook Text

Note: This spell first appeared in the Hellbound: The Blood War boxed set, and were designed for fiendish spellcasters. DMs must give specific permission for PCs to have access to these lower-planar dweomers.

Some creatures are especially vulnerable to silver weapons. Protection from silver does away with that vulnerability for the duration of the spell. If a protected creature is attacked with a silver weapon, the weapon is treated as if it were just a normal blade (or mace, or whatever it is).

The priest can cast protection from silver on himself or on another creature (by touching or making a successful attack on the target). Though few player characters have such a vulnerability, it may be useful in the case of a tiefling or friendly lycanthrope.

The material component of the spell is the priest's holy (or unholy) symbol.
