A gargantuan, faintly shimmering dome barrier springs into existence from a square area of ground of your choice that you can see. The spell's area can't overlap with the area of another Dome of Protection spell. After 7 days or when you cast this spell somewhere else, the dome dissipates from the ground up.
You can designate its radius for up to 3 miles, in this area you create a ward against all magical travel. Creatures can't teleport into the area or use portals, such as those created by the gate spell, to enter the area. The spell proofs the area against planar travel, and therefore prevents creatures from accessing the area by way of the Astral Plane, Ethereal Plane, Feywild, Shadowfell, or the plane shift spell. The spell even foils wish spells and spells or effects of similar power used to teleport in or out.
Physical objects, energy, or other spell effects of 7th level or lower cast from outside cannot pass through the barrier, in or out, though a creature in the sphere can breathe there. The dome is immune to all damage, and a creature or object inside can't be damaged by attacks or effects originating from outside, nor can a creature inside the sphere damage anything outside it.
Any spell effects of 7th level or lower cast from outside the barrier can't affect creatures or objects within it, even if the spell is cast using a higher level spell slot. Such a spell can target creatures and objects within the barrier, but the spell has no effect on them. Similarly, the area within the barrier is excluded from the areas affected by such spells.
When you cast this spell, you can designate a password. A creature that speaks the password can pass through the dome, as well as harm creatures outside the dome from the inside.
