When this spell is cast, an immobile, invisible barrier, pierced only by a narrow arrow slit, comes into being and totally encompasses the caster. This shield provides protection equal to Armor Class 2 against frontal attacks and Armor Class 0 against all other attacks. The barrier also adds a +1 bonus to the priest's saving throws.
It is not possible to move an archer's redoubt, and leaving its confines ends the spell. However, the arrow slit can change position as mentally directed by the caster. Although a melee weapon or hurled weapon can't be used from an archer's redoubt, any sort of bow or crossbow can be fired without hindrance.
The material component of this spell is the priest's holy symbol.
