For the duration of this spell, you are protected against some sure form of death, one that if entered or undertaken is normally guaranteed to cause your death. The event protected against must be a natural one, not a spell or action from another individual or creature.
You could use this spell to protect yourself from dying in a pot of boiling oil or under the crushing weight of an avalanche, but you could not protect yourself from the breath of a dragon, or the swords of a band of mercenaries.
The event being protected against must be specific, and the spell is only effective against that event. Should the event come to pass within the duration of the spell, you suffer no damage nor discomfort from it. However, the spell only protects you, and does nothing to protect the items you wear or carry.
Once the spell has ended, the event you had protected yourself against now has full normal effects on you.
