Protection from Elements



Unlike Protection from Energy where each time you cast it you must select one out of five types of Energy, you only need to cast Protection from Elements once to get protection from all five types of Energy.

Note, this barrier of temporary HP can be considered "on top" of energy resistance effects like the Resist Energy spell, i.e. it takes the energy damage first and does NOT benefit from the damage reduction effect. This makes it a rather "soft" layer of defense that may need to be refreshed rather regularly.
