Effect
The subject gains damage reduction 10/magic against ranged weapons. The spell ends after it has prevented 10 points of damage per caster level, to a maximum of 100 points.
The protection does not give the warded creature any special ability to overcome similar damage reduction on other creatures.
Using Protection from Arrows
The spell is strongest when facing repeated missile fire over a long period. Its hour-per-level duration means it can be cast well before an expected ambush or siege.
Focus
A piece of tortoise or turtle shell.
