protection spell
Enchantment against harm
A protection spell is a ritual or incantation intended to ward off harm, evil, or negative influences.
The concept appears across magical traditions, folklore, video games, and fantasy fiction.
Protection spells might shield a person, place, or object: She cast a protection spell over the house before leaving.
In gaming contexts, they're often defensive buffs that reduce damage or block attacks.
