He is then hit by a fighter wielding a two handed sword +3, for 11 points of damage, but takes only 8 due to the 3 points of magical damage absorbed by the shield.

This spell does not provide a complete barrier against non-damage inflicting combat spells, but it does provide a +2 bonus to saving throws against such spells.

If the victim cast a spell or used a magic item that round, he is compelled to do the same again, even if that means going through the motions to cast a spell that is no longer memorized or use an item that has ran out of charges, to no effect. If a character drew a weapon, he must go through the actions of doing so again, if he attacked a foe he must attack the same foe again, etc.

Said creature will be bodily hurled up to 80' from the caster, suffering 2d6 damage (plus another 5d6 if it hits a solid obstruction), and inflicting 2d6 damage to any creature hit by the flying victin (DM's judgement whether said creatures stop the target; a kobold will be stopped by hitting an ogre, but an ogre should be hurled straight through a cloud of kobolds).

If the target makes a save versus spells, it will completely avoid the spell. A hurled foe must roll equal to or under their dexterity score -5 on 1d20 to land on their feet, otherwise they will fall and be considered prone until they can stand up.
