This abjuration protects the recipient from the attacks of any of the various amorphous monsters, including slimes, jellies, oozes, puddings, gelatinous cubes, and slithering trackers. To qualify as an amorphous creature, the monster must have an amorphous or fluid body, attack through acids or secretions of some kind. Most are native to the Prime Material Plane and are formless, primordial beings, as opposed to creatures such as elementals. The monster cannot stand the touch of the barrier surrounding the protected character, and its natural attacks automatically fail. Ranged attacks by these creatures 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 creature to be protected.
Notes: Very rare spell. This is a priest version of the spell from PO:SM.
Some extraplanar beings are affected by the protection from amorphs spell, in particular certain minions of Juiblex, the Faceless Lord. Likewise, some Prime Material creatures will not be, such as mimics (Monstrous Manual tome) and algols (Fiend Folio tome). The former is malleable but not amorphic (like a doppelganger), the latter is a colony of animated algae rather than primordial ooze.
