Azuth's Spell Shield

(Abjuration)
Sphere: Ploteftion

Level: 7

Range: Touch
Components:V, S
Casting Time: 1 rd.
Duration: 1rd.
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: None

This spell renders the recipient immune to all
magical effects on the round after this spell is cast.
The spell shield also suppresses previously applied
protections, aids, and ongoing effects of a benefi-
cial nature as well. The spell does not prevent such
magics from operating; it simply prevents the pro-
tected being from being affected by them for one
round.

In any event, if the caster requests that the sum-

they are required to roll a loyalty reaction check

respect to neutral or good woodland creatures, as
determined by the DM. Thus the DM can freely
add to or alter the list as he sees fit.

If the caster personally knows a certain individ-
