This spell confers immunity to all "nuisance" cantrips and 1st-level spells cast upon the bard. In addition, it gives the bard a +4 bonus to his saving throws versus such spells of second level or higher. This spell is primarily used while performing, as it keeps outside events such as hecklers and taunt spells from interrupting the bard's performance. The material component for this spell is a chip of granite.
"Nuisance" spells are those that do no damage, but are designed to adversely affect the bard's concentration, train of thought, or senses. Most illusion and charm spells fall into this category, as do blindness, deafness, and other such spells that otherwise cause blindness or deafness. All three variations of the annoyance spell (q.v.) are included as well. There are more such spells, but an exhaustive list here is unwarranted.
