This spell wards a creature from attacks by fæy creatures, from mental control, and from summoned or conjured creatures. It creates a magical barrier around the subject at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the subject and has two major effects:

First, the subject receives a +2 deflection bonus to Armor Class and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made by fæy creatures.

Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature or to exercise mental control over the creature. The protection does not prevent a spell from gaining mental control, but it prevents the caster of such a spell from mentally commanding the protected creature. If the protection from fæy effect ends before the mental control effect does, the caster would then be able to mentally command the controlled creature. Likewise, the barrier keeps out a possessing life force, but does not expel one if it is in place before the spell is cast. This second effect works regardless of alignment.

Arcane material component: An iron nail.
