Duration:  2 rounds per level
Casting Time:  1 round
Area of Effect:  Creature touched
Saving Throw:  None

This spell protects the recipient from one element chosen when the spell is memorised. The recipient is totally immune to non-magical manifestations of the element, including the environment of various elemental and para-elemental planes. Against magic, the recipient receives a +3 to the saving throw and takes 50% less damage. This spell is effective against cold, fire, and electricity among other things, but not against negative or positive energy. The material component is a bit of the element opposite to the one the wizard wishes to protect himself from (water against fire, earth against air, and vice versa).
