This spell enhances the cleric’s ability to guard a person, place, or object. The spell’s effect must be centered on a specific area, for it creates an invisible spherical boundary up to 10ft in diameter. The boundary cannot be moved, and only the cleric gains any benefit for being in the area.
While the cleric is in the area of effect, the cleric gains several abilities:
His sense of awareness is magically enhanced. He gains Low Light Vision and Dark Vision, and can use whichever is most advantageous as it is needed. He also gets a +4 bonus to his Spot and Listen Checks.
The cleric has no need for food, water, or rest. He does not feel fatigue and regenerates his Constitution modifier in hit points per hour, minimum 1 hit point. However, he does not actually rest and therefore can not regain spells until he actually sleeps.
The cleric is totally immune to Fear, Sleep, and Mind-Affecting spells and effects.
If the cleric leaves the circle, the spell is broken. When the spell ends, the cleric must rest for 10 minutes per hour or portion thereof spent in the circle. If the cleric is forced into action before resting, his speed is reduced in half, has an Attack and AC penalty of -2, and loses his DX bonus to his AC.
Material Component: the cleric must trace the circle with runes and sigils using special ink containing the powder of a crushed sapphire (1,000gp) and a drop of holy water.This spell was originally from the 2e Tome of Magic
