Additionally, a sound effect will audible when the spell expires.
A player character will show an icon (No. 123) titled "Protected from Magical Energy" on their portrait for the spell's duration.
This spell will bestow the recipient with Magical damage resistance set to 100%.
This spell can be removed by any applicable Dispel Magic source or with a Breach spell.
