Ok yet another batch of spells.
We've got a line of all purpose spell-defense spells. A Prismatic Fireball. And a spell to let you project an image of yourself over distances for communication or recon. Tell me what you think.

Project Self
Necromancy
Level: Mys 6, Sor/Wiz 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 minute/level
When you cast this spell, your spirit separates from your body, and your body enters a comatose state.
You can choose to simply have your spirit form appear near your body at casting, or you can project it to any location you know of, or into the presence of a known individual.
Either way, once the spell is cast your spirit form may move any distance from your body, flying at a speed of 30 feet, with perfect maneuverability.
In this form, you are considered incorporeal, except that you are totally immune to damage, except from Ghost Touch weapons or force-based spells. A dispel magic spell targeted at your spirit form will end the spell if successful.
You can choose to be visible, or invisible, and may switch between the two at will as a full-round action. Your spirit form has exactly the same sensory abilities you did at the time you cast the spell. You can speak through your projection, but cannot affect the physical world by any means including spells.
Your projection will not trigger physical traps or warding spells (such as alarm) of 6th level or below. You still cannot pass through force barriers.
When the spell ends, your spirit returns to your body, and you regain consciousness in 1d4 minutes.
