They can persist, but because they're slower they might not get out of the area of effect in that turn and they get hit again for damage. This also gives the Wizard time to get some space between him and the hobgoblins. Alternately because its a consontration spell, hitting the Cleric could disrupt it, so they have an incentige to hit the cleric instead of going after the cleric. Of course its varistile enough to in some cases be used for more offensive purposes, perhaps the fighter shoves a hobgoblin into that space or knocks him prone in it, I'm not sure how getting up from prone works when your in a space that already halves your speed? Does it half the half speed. Like if your speed is normally 30 feet, being within the spirits makes that 15 feet and and getting up from Prone makes that 7? or you just lose the other half of you regular speed so you can't move at all. In some cases, say you have the fighters surrounding you, and enemies are melee only you could force enemies to attack your defenders to get to you, and continuously take damage while you don't take any. I also like the flavour, your surrounded by fey or Celestials (or fiends if your character is evil), so you can really pick a flavour that fits the character, saying gorgeaus nude nymphs for Sune, Minions of Sharess for Sharess, sage like Angels for a god of knoweldge, or a giant Solar with a huge sword for say Tempus. Or for a priestess of Lloth Yochlols, demons for a worshipper of Grazzt, or Pitfiends for a priest of Asmodeaus.  Also note that the spell is conjuration, not evocation or illusion, so this isn't just spiritual energy or a powerful illusion, its actually summoned beings in spirit form, where they can't be harmed.</blockquote>
