Effect
Each protected creature gains a +8 resistance bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities. The bonus does not apply against supernatural or extraordinary abilities.
Material Component & Focus
The material component is a diamond worth at least 500 gp, crushed and sprinkled over the targets. Each protected creature must also carry a 1,000 gp diamond focus for the duration; losing the gem ends the protection for that creature.
Using Protection from Spells
The spell is designed for situations where sustained hostile magic is expected, particularly when several allies need protection at once.
