By means of this spell, the wizard bestows total invulnerability to hurled and
projected missiles such as arrows, axes, bolts, javelins, small stones, and
spears. Furthermore, it causes a reduction of 1 from each die of damage (but no
die inflicts less than 1 point of damage) inflicted by large or magical
missiles, such as ballista missiles, catapult stones, hurled boulders, and magical
arrows, bolts, javelins, etc. Note, however, that this spell does not convey any
protection from such magical attacks as fireballs, lightning bolts, or magic
missiles.
The material component of this spell is a piece of tortoise or turtle shell.
