DESCRIPTION
A random pattern of color surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells cast by lawful creatures, and slowing lawful creatures when they strike the subjects. This spell has four effects.
First, each warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection from law, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by lawful creatures.
Second, a warded creature gains Spell Resistance 25 against lawful spells and spells cast by lawful creatures.
Third, the abjuration protects you from possession and mental influence, just as protection from law does.
Finally, if a lawful creature succeeds on a melee attack against a warded creature, the attacker is slowed (Will save negates, as the slow spell, but against shield of chaos‘s save DC).
