Enlarge makes the target larger and stronger. The higher the caster's level, the larger and stronger the target gets. If the caster is 6th level the target becomes as strong as an Ogre. If the caster is 10th level the target becomes as strong as a Fire Giant. A target can only be under the effect of one enlarge spell at a time. Unwilling targets get a saving throw against this effect. The spell will stay in effect for more than one combat, and should be cast before combat.

Protection from Evil improves the AC and saving throws of the target by 2 against evil attackers.

Shield negates enemy Magic Missile spells, improves the mage's saving throw, and may increase his AC.

Shocking Grasp does electrical damage of 1-8 hitpoints, +1 hitpoint per level of the caster.
