Safeguard:

If successful, a chosen character will be protected from magical harm. Any spell cast to harm this character directly has its complexity increased by one tier. When a character casts Dispel on a target with Safeguard, Safeguard grants the defender a +2 bonus, +5 if the targeted spell already existed prior to the casting of Dispel, and is being maintained by the character. Safeguard itself is excluded from either of these bonuses.
