(See also: Protection Spells) This spell provides protection against most types of birds (any with feathers). Any bird with less than 2 Hit Dice is prevented from attacking the caster at a distance of one foot. Birds with 2 to 9 Hit Dice attack the caster at -2, while birds of 10 Hit Dice or greater are not affected by the spell.
The material component is a feather from any bird. If a feather from a roc or giant eagle is used, the duration of the spell is doubled.
Notes: Uncommon for abjurers and air mages; otherwise, rare. In the World of Greyhawk setting, Mordenkainen's protection from avians is more common.
