Lesser Arcane Warding

This spell protects the subject from being directly targeted by spells for the duration. The subject is not protected from area of effect magic, nor is the subject protected from certain untargeted magical traps or curses.

If a caster attempts to target the subject with a spell, Magic Missile for example, it will still work however the magical energy will dissipate harmlessly instead of causing its intended effect. Certain spells that target as well as causing an area of effect emanation can result in the area of effect; failing to eventuate; or manifest in a reduced capacity, or occur normally at the DMs discretion.

If the subject wishes to avoid the warding they can do so by succeeding on a saving throw.
