Protection spell

The protection spell was cast to provide protection to a target. This spell was cast by Willow Rosenberg, Amy Madison and Michael Czajak as Willow's birthday present for Buffy. The extent of the protection of the spell and the nature of protection it gave (i.e., physical or magical) was unknown. The spell was mistakenly though of as malevolent, due to the activities of a demon that used the guise of Hans and Gretta Strauss, who had the symbol of the spell imprinted on their palms upon their death.
