Prevent extra dimensional travel (Forbiddence 6th, Private Sanctum 4th, Hallow 5th, Force cage(7th - on a failed save only)  And you'll still die of exposure inside the area of these spells.So, yeah, that's just my reasoning for not giving a magical tent that much power.Edit:  I keep saying it's 2nd but it's actually 3rd.  My mistake.</blockquote>
