The undead are a powerful evil. They are many in form, corporeal and incorporeal. Some can possess the living, others feed of them. Protection From Undead creates a sphere around the user through which any undead is prevented from passing through, corporeal or incorporeal. The sphere is invisible, but the user can sense it and knows its strength and Duration, while they are concentrating on it. Once the sphere is cast on a target it will move as the target moves, it does not prevent any other non-undead thing from passing through it.
The sphere lasts for the Duration noted, and at its finish instantly disappears. Only the powerful forms of undead can push the user back or attempt to break in. A strength of over 300 is needed to smash the sphere, which will cause the user to be knocked down but otherwise unharmed. Banish Manc will cancel the barrier to anyone who knows it is there, other than undead, whose Dispel Manc attempt would be interpreted as an attack, and thus defended by the sphere. By default the strength of the user determines their ability to push undead with the sphere.
While the Protection From Undead is active the user must not strike through the barrier or they will dispel it themselves. They may attack anything within the sphere without dispelling the sphere.
The sphere by default is equal to the caster's Level x 10 feet in diameter maximum, but they can reduce this at casting if wished down to a protective barrier just 5 feet in diameter (based on a Serevmen, larger casters may have a proportionately larger minimum-sized sphere).
