The effect of a protection from fire spell differs according to whether the recipient of the magic is the caster
or some other creature. In either case, the spell lasts no longer than one turn
per caster level.
If the spell is cast upon the caster, it confers complete invulnerability to:
normal fires (torches, bonfires, oil fires, and the like); exposure to magical
fires such as fiery dragon breath; spells such as burning hands, fireball, fire seeds, fire storm, flame strike, and meteor swarm; hell hound or pyrohydra breath, etc. The invulnerability lasts until the
spell has absorbed 12 points of heat or fire damage per level of the caster, at
which time the spell is negated.
If the spell is cast upon another creature, it gives invulnerability to normal
fire, gives a bonus of +4 to saving throw die rolls vs. fire attacks, and
reduces damage sustained from magical fires by 50%.
The caster's holy symbol is the material component.
