protective spell
Enchantment against harm
A protective spell is an incantation or ritual believed to ward off harm, evil, or misfortune.
The concept appears across folklore, fantasy literature, and gaming, where characters cast protective spells to shield themselves or others from attack or curse: She placed a protective spell on the house before leaving.
The term sometimes describes any action treated as a talisman against bad outcomes.
