Void scholars are specially trained in recognizing and countering extraplanar influences upon the Prime and may erect a planar barrier to ward off a number of plane-touched beings, preventing them from entering the room where the barrier has been placed. A planar barrier will also prevent most transport magic that lands within its confines.
In order to create a planar barrier, the scholar must inscribe a Circle of Protection. The material chosen will tune the the barrier to ward against the element of the caster's choosing.
To ward against air, the circle must be inscribed in silver. This will prevent air scholar phantasms from entering.
To ward against spirit, the circle must be inscribed in bone dust. This will prevent avatars and those affected by positive channel from entering, as well as seraphs and other celestial beings. It will also ward against shadeswarm, speak with the dead hauntings, ley pulse, and singularity.
To ward against fire, the circle must be inscribed in charcoal. This will prevent aspects of the inferno from entering and inferno's reach from striking within the confines of the circle.
To ward against Void, the circle must be inscribed in the caster's own blood. This will prevent demons, the demonically possessed, and shadowfiends from entering. Unclean spirits will not be able to strike within the room, and it will not be possible to gate into or be summoned from this place. It will not be possible to afflict someone with nightfears who is in a room so warded.
To ward against earth, the circle must be inscribed in mud. Earth-based elementals, drakes, and golems will be unable to enter. This will also prevent the voice of the earth from seeing within this room.
To ward against water, the circle must be inscribed in salt. Water elementals will be unable to enter, and it will be impossible to scribe or meld with water into the room.
As a rule, if a creature is an elemental, it will be blocked by a barrier warding against the proper sphere. Being alchemical in nature and not extraplanar, alchemists' golems are unimpeded by planar barriers.
