(See also: Protection Spells) The spell prevents magical traps (and alarms) from being triggered by the protected creature. The traps do not function, but neither are they revealed. The spell only prevents activation of a trap's trigger. It provides no protection against traps triggered by an unprotected creature, nor does it provide protection against a trap without a trigger, such as an open pit. If the creator of the trap is more powerful than 12th level and also more powerful than the caster of the protection, then the protected creature must make a successful saving throw vs. spell to avoid triggering the trap.
The material component is a broom straw.
Notes: Uncommon for abjurers; otherwise, rare.
