Magic Circle against Evil
Magic Circle against Evil surrounds the caster with a moving circle of protection. Every ally inside it gains a +1 deflection bonus to Armour Class and a +1 bonus on all saving throws against evil creatures, and is immune to their mind-affecting spells. The circle lasts one hour per caster level.

How it works
- It creates an aura on you that moves with you.
- Every creature inside that is not hostile to you gets +1 deflection bonus to Armor Class, +1 to all saving throws and Mind Spells Immunity, all three only against evil creatures.
- A creature keeps the bonus only while it stays in the circle.
