Effect: You ward a single man-made portal or threshold against incursion by creatures of the goblin subtype for 24 hours.  This can be as grand as the gates of a castle or as simple as a line etched or drawn across a path or cave entrance. Effected creatures may not pass through the portal or cross the threshold without the your permission. This spell cannot be used to ward an entire structure, only doorways, windows, or other openings.  It also does not prevent goblins and similarly warded against creatures from scaling over walls or battering through them as an alternative to entering through the warded portal or threshold, nor does it prevent them from shooting or hurling projectiles past the ward. I'm shooting for a spell that any 1st level wizard or cleric can perform to secure a defensible spot without just drawing a circle around the camp.  It also keeps them from just warding an entire town.  The clerics of the local temple can go out each evening and ward the city gates, but the night watch still has to be alert to keep goblins from sneaking over the wall and and a sizable force (particularly hobgoblins) can still just lay siege.  A druid or spell-casting ranger can make the rounds each day and ward all the farmhouses and barns in his area.</blockquote>
