The spell creates a globe of protection that prevents traps (and alarms) from being triggered by those within the area. The sphere is centered on and mobile with the creature touched. The traps within the sphere do not function, but neither are they revealed. The sphere only prevents activation of the trap's trigger. It provides no protection against traps triggered by an unprotected creature, nor does it provide protection against a trap without a trigger, such as an open pit. The degree of protection depends on the caster's level.

At 7th level, the sphere protects against mechanical traps and alarms.

At 9th level, the protection is extended to magical traps and alarms created by those of the caster's own level or less.

At 12th level, the protection is extended to magical traps and alarms created by those up to 4 levels higher than the priest.

The material component is the priest's holy symbol.

Notes: Rare spell for clerics.
