Only then, the spell effect is suppressed as long as the Protection from Evil is active.  Then it would have no effect at all on a Magic Jar spell effect, already possessing a target.  Same with a Dominate Person spell... if the spell is already in place, and Protection from Evil is then cast on the target, it cannot receive any new commands, but it will still be affected by the dominate effect and continue to follow any previous commands or otherwise just stand around idly.  What do you think?  Is the spell effect completely suppressed and the target can act normally, or is only the "communication line" cut off?  Bye Thanee</blockquote>
