New spell question
I'm trying to place a set of spells that normally I would call Ward vs X
The basic effect is similar to repel animals, but the animal college just doesn't seem appropriate to Vampires or other beings. Pentagram protects against innately magical beings, but looking to place protection spells for beings that occupy the between areas. |

Re: New spell question
Mind Control is another choice. Compare with Avoid and Suggestion (M140)
If you want to ward mindless things, then Movement or Body Control might serve. What's the in-setting "fluff text" for how the Wards supposedly work? |

I'm just uncertain where in the other colleges to place them. Looking for advice on: Vampires, Were (being), Faerie, Ghost, and any other mythological beings of folklore not explicitly a spirit or demon covered by pentagram I suppose. Related question: Do humans count as a class of animal? |

Any of those would also fit into Protection & Warning, but that doesn't help much as usually you wouldn't have a chain of prerequisites that fits (mostly) into that college. Note that there will be little incentive to use a set of different spells if Avoid and Pentagram are available. Even the former works on supernatural beings that are not immune to mind control and the latter is pretty all-purpose if a bit fiddly to use and expensive to set up on larger areas.

Re: New spell question
Protection from Evil/Good (and Order/Chaos for that matter) appear to be both Meta-Magic and Protection and Warning, so I would assume a Protection from Undead might be both Necromancy and Protection and Warning.
