==Description==

This spell grants a creature complete immunity to damage from one of the five [[damage type|elemental energy types]] - acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic.

'''Note''': This is done as a 9999/- [[damage resistance]] effect against the specified type.

== Gameplay Notes ==

Quite a specialist spell, this requires the caster to know in advance what types of elemental damage they are most likely to take, or plan a set of spells around not taking damage from a certain energy type.

Obviously, this would provide very good help to a party if they knew they were up against certain dragons, which have a strong breath attack.

The most common castings of this would be for Fire ([[Fireball]], [[Wall of Fire]], [[Incendiary Cloud]]...) and Cold ([[Cone of Cold]], [[Polar Ray]], [[Ice Storm]]...), while Acid, Sonic and Electricity get less general use, although still can prove invaluable.

A good defensive or proactive defensive measure could be to cast it and be immune to Fire, while standing in a [[Wall of Fire]] to discourage, or at least harm, people who enter into melee combat with the caster.

Casting energy immunity on party members is a good strategy for stopping potential friendly-fire damage. Strategically, this means that a protected frontline party member can draw enemies together for more effective area spells, and an entire protected party can move together to force entire enemy mobs into range.

This is a good spell to have on a Scroll or Rod because of its total lack of any kind of benefit from having a higher caster level or ability score to cast it (the duration is set, there are no variables), apart from resisting [[Dispel Magic]]. Having scrolls of this spell allows the caster to cast as and when, providing total immunity despite the spell level on the scroll being lower then their normal caster level.
