Duration:  1 day per level
Casting Time:  1 round

Saving Throw:  None

This spell protects races like locathah, merfolk, etc. from the adverse effects of being on the surface. This spell will prevent taking damage from drying out and will allow the recipient to survive just like a normal human. The spell will also enable air breathing for its duration (if needed). The recipient of protection on surface can only receive its benefits once and then need to wait the length of the spell's duration before they can have it cast upon them again (an example: a locathah has protection on surface cast on it by an 8th-level priest, allowing the duration to be eight days; when the spell's effects wear off in eight days, the locathah will have to wait another eight days before it can have this spell cast upon it again).
The material component of this spell is the priest's holy symbol.
