Protection from the Elements

(See also: Protection Spells) This spell is usually bestowed by genies on their servants, and its secrets are well-guarded. It confers extensive protection to most harmful effects of a single Elemental Plane. This includes immunity to non-magical winds (including acidic rain and airborne poisons), earth (including toxic dusts and mineral poisons), fire (including molten metals, smoke, and lava, but not magical flames), or water (including drowning and pressure). To cast the spell, the caster must either touch the recipients on the forehead or kiss them (generally on the hand, cheek, or lips) while sprinkling perfume (air), chalk (earth), sulphur (fire), or salt (water) over them. When cast by a genie, the effects last an entire week; when cast by another creature, the effects last but 1 hour, plus 1 hour per level.
