The spell "protects against" mind-affecting effects; I don't see anything in the spell description requiring the protected creature to ignore beneficial ones.Ya can't have it both ways; either dispel magic is an effective tactic or it isn't. If it's only got a 35% chance of working in the first place, that dropping 5% for each level higher than 13th that this hypothetical wizard casting ST is in the first place, it's not really so scary as to militate spending a 7th-level spell slot all to its lonesome.Again, Pax, I'm not saying that ST is useless; I'm just saying that it would still be a well-balanced spell, and more in line with the broader-application defensive spells out there, if it at least covered the more common single-target attacks like rays.</blockquote>
