This abjuration resembles the spells protection from vermin or protection from evil, but in this case the caster is protected from the attacks of any of the
various amorphous monsters, including slimes, jellies, oozes, puddings, cubes, and
slithering trackers. In order to qualify as an amorphous creature, the monster
must have an amorphous or fluid body, attack through acids or secretions of
some kind, and be native to the Prime Material Plane (as opposed to extraplanar
elementals and such creatures). The monster cannot stand the touch of the barrier
surrounding the protected character, and its natural attacks automatically
fail. If the monster has an innate ranged attack of any kind, these also fail.
If the protected character makes an attack against the monster, or if he
forces the barrier against the monster, the spell ends and he is no longer
protected. The material component is a mixture of rare salts sprinkled in a small circle
around the character to be protected.
