Notes[]

To quickslot protection from good, right-click the quickslot and choose the spell in the radial menu. Dragging the spell from the spellbook to the quickslot will only place protection from evil there.
An aura of fear counts as a mind-affecting spell-like ability.
This spell is invaluable in a PvM setting where most monsters have an evil alignment, especially when saving throw auto-failure on 1 is not disabled.
In a PvP setting, players often use this spell to protect themselves from both good and evil.
For immunity to mind spells used by opponents of any (including neutral) alignment, see mind blank and clarity.
If a potion of this spell is made (typically via brew potion), and if that potion is fed to an associate, then the associate is protected from evil.
