Protection from Evil states
"Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for exaample) or to exericise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as Dominate Person). The protection does not prevent such spells from targetting the protected creature, but it suppresses the effect for the duration of the Protection from Evil effect. If the Protection from Evil effect ends before the effect granting mental control does, the would be controller would then be able to mentally command the controlled creature. Likewise, the barrier keeps out a possessing life force but does not expel one if it is in place before the spell is cast. "
What about a pre-existing mental control spell?
Does casting a Protection from Evil on a dominated ally suppress the effect?
And secondly, what about a Magic Circle Against Evil on one PC? Can that PC just walk within 10 feet of any dominated ally to suppress the effect?
