This spell is also known as the "least globe of invulnerability". It creates an immobile, faintly shimmering magical sphere around the caster that prevents any 1st-level spell effects from penetrating (i.e. the area of effect of any such spells does not include the area of the Tyger's protection). This includes innate abilities and effects from devices. However, any type of spell can be cast out of the magical sphere, and these pass from the caster of the sphere to their subject without affecting the sphere at all. Second and higher level spells are not affected by this spell. The sphere can be brought down with a successful dispel magic spell. The caster can leave and return to the sphere without penalty. Note that spell effects are not actually disrupted by the sphere unless cast directly through or into it. A wizard standing in the area of a light spell would still receive sufficient light for vision, even though that part of the light spell volume in the sphere would not be luminous.
The material component for this spell is a tiny piece of glass or crystal that shatters at the expiration of the spell.
Notes: Uncommon spell.
