Protection From The Elements raises the wizard’s resistances to every elemental type, no matter the source.
Description[]
| “ | When the spell is cast, it confers 75% resistance to all elemental attacks—such as fire, cold, and electricity, whether magical or non magical—from spells, weapons, wands, breath weapons, etc. The effect of a Protection From The Elements spell lasts 1 round per level of the caster or until dispelled. | ” |
Gameplay[]
When the spell is completed and cast on a creature, a text is displayed reading "Protection From The Elements", as well as 3D effect and a color fade is rendered over the sprite, and an icon is placed on the character's portrait.
When the spell expires, an audible sound effect is heard.
The recipient of this spell is bestowed a temporary boost to resist Cold damage, Fire damage, and Electricity damage.
The elemental resistance modifier value is +75%, which is cumulative with any other similar elemental resistances already present on the creature.
The maximum game-allowed damage resistance modifier for these elemental resistances is 127%.
Values over 100% can heal the creature when that particular elemental damage is incurred, for example if the creature has 110% fire resistance and incurs 40 fire damage, the targeted creature can be healed 4 hit points from that damage event.
This spell is affected by Dispel Magic effects and can be removed with a Breach spell.
Note[]
The spell also boosts resistance to magical cold damage and magical fire damage, which are unused/unimplemented damage types in the unmodified game.
The spell is not stackable with a second spell application.
