Protection from Winds

(See also: Protection Spells)

The effect of a protection from winds spell differs according to whether the caster or another creature is the recipient of the spell. In either case, the spell lasts no longer than one turn per caster level.

If the spell is cast upon the caster, it confers complete invulnerability to damage and ill effect inflicted by natural winds (no matter how strong), gust of wind spells, and similar threats, including the effects of the maddening winds of Pandemonium. The invulnerability lasts until the spell has absorbed 12 points of wind damage per level of the caster or one turn per caster level, whichever comes first.

If the spell is cast upon another creature, it reduces damage sustained by wind attacks by 50% and confers a saving throw bonus of +4 to the die roll versus such attacks, as well as full protection versus Pandemonium's winds.

The material component is the priest's holy symbol.
