In areas where jackal wizards are known to operate, it is wise for an Arabian wizard to pro­tect himself from spell thievery. This spell serves this purpose admirably.

After the spell is cast, the wizard simply places a small coin (the spell's material compo­nent) in his turban or other headgear. If a jackal wizard attempts to lift a spell from the pro­tected wizard, the coin grows warm, warning the wizard.

The first attempt to steal a spell from a wiz­ard protected by the jackal ward will always fail. The second and subsequent attempts have a 50% chance of being foiled.

Notes: Common for spellcasters from an Arabian setting; otherwise very rare.
