6th-level abjuration (ritual)

Casting Time:10 minutes


Components:V, S, M (a sprinkling of holy water, rare incense, and powdered ruby worth at least 1,000 gp)

Duration:1 day

You create a ward against magical travel that protects up to 40,000 square feet of floor space to a height of 30 feet above the floor. For the duration, creatures can’t teleport into the area or use portals, such as those created by thegatespell, 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 theplane shiftspell.


When you cast this spell, you can designate a password. A creature that speaks the password as it enters the area takes no damage from the spell.

The spell’s area can’t overlap with the area of anotherforbiddancespell. If you castforbiddanceevery day for 30 days in the same location, the spell lasts until it is dispelled, and the material components are consumed on the last casting.
