Shield of the Holy
By:

Components: V, S, M

Duration: 1 round per level

Casting Time: 1

Area of Effect: 7 ft. hemisphere

Saving Throw: None

Once cast a field of force is resurrected around the priest. The shield is very taxing and the priest casting the spell must remain chanting during the whole time or the spell fails. Any spell cast at the shield has an 80% chance of being redirected towards the caster. Spells targeting the individuals inside the shield fail automatically and cause three points of damage per spell level to the caster with no save. Mundane weapons striking the barrier must make a savings throw versus destruction or be destroyed. Magical weapons do not need to save but still cannot make it through the shield.
