All attacks against the cleric are penalized by -1 to their Hit rolls, and the cleric gains a +1 bonus to all Saving Throws, while the spell lasts.In addition, "enchanted" creatures cannot even touch the cleric! If a magic weapon is needed to hit a creature, that creature is called "enchanted." However, a creature that can be hit by a silver weapon — a lycanthrope (were-creature), for example — is not an "enchanted" creature. Any creature which is magically summoned or controlled (such as a Charmed character) is also considered to be an "enchanted" creature. The barrier thus completely prevents all attacks from those creatures unless they use missile weapons.This spell will not affect a Magic Missile (magic-user's) spell. If the cleric attacks anything during the spell's duration, the effect changes slightly. "Enchanted" creatures are then able to touch the magic-user, but the Hit roll and Saving Throw adjustments still apply until the spell duration ends."</blockquote>
