(Abjuration)(Elemental (Water), Protection)

Range:  10 feet per level
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  1 turn per level
Casting Time:  4
Area of Effect:  One person
Saving Throw:  Negates

This spell is similar to the 3rd-level protection from fire and the 4th-level protection from electricity. The effect of this spell depends on the target of the spell. If the spell is targeted on the caster, it protects the caster from 12 HP per level of damage after the saving throws are rolled. If the spell is cast on another person, the spell causes a reduction of the damage to one fourth and grants an additional +4 to the appropriate saving throws. Elementals of the appropriate type may inflict other damage but their damage is still reduced by 2 points per die of damage. In this case, the damage will not be further reduced by this spell. This spell is cumulative with any endure, resist, or protection spells. The material component is the holy symbol of the priest.
Protection from water is for those that don't fancy to be pounded by huge waves on the ocean, those that don't like to get wet in the rain (or in the sea), those that don't like to be flooded by a transmute dust to water, which is normally quite a killer spell (one cubic yard of water normally weighs nearly one ton), etc.
