Protection from Evil

The cleric calls upon his deity to protect him from harm. He is protected even if he is not aware of the danger. The definition of “evil” is based on the cleric: generally it encompasses creatures of opposed alignment, those unholy to the cleric’s deity, and those with clear harmful intent. Depending on the strength of the spell, it may detect even more subtle dangers. This spell may be reversed to protect from good.
