DESCRIPTION

You bring into being a mobile, hemispherical energy field that prevents the entrance of most types of undead. Mindless undead (those with no Intelligence score) are automatically affected by this spell. Other undead receive a Will save when they first come into contact with an antiundead shell. On a failed save they are unable to enter the shell for its duration, on a successful save they ignore the spell.

This spell may only be used defensively, not aggressively. Forcing an abjuration barrier against creatures that spell keeps at bay collapses the barrier.
