===== Description =====

Upon casting this spell, select an alignment axis for it to protect against (good, evil, chaos, or law). Shimmering, white energy surrounds you. This energy has three effects.

  * **First**, you gain a +4 deflection bonus to [[chargen:common_terms#defense_armor_shields_and_concealment|Defense]] against attacks by creatures of the chosen alignment.

  * **Second**, on making a successful melee touch attack against a creature from another plane of the chosen alignment, you can choose to drive that creature back to its home plane. The creature can negate the effects with a successful Will save (Spell Resistance applies). This use discharges and ends the spell.

  * **Third**, with a touch you can automatically dispel any one enchantment spell cast by a creature or any one spell of the selected alignment axis. Spells that can’t be dispelled by [[dispel magic]] also can’t be dispelled by Aligned Dispel. Saving throws and Spell Resistance do not apply to this effect. This use discharges and ends the spell.
