Protect from Magic is accessible at level 37 Prayer. When used, the player will become immune to all Magic attacks used by monsters, and will receive a 40% damage reduction from other players' magic attacks; some players combine this spell with armour that has strong resistance to magic thus giving maximum protection. It also reduces the holding time of other players' binding spells by 50% (i.e. A 10 second binding spell will last for 5 seconds). Note that the holding time of Ancient Magicks ice spells is not affected by this prayer, though the damage is still reduced. Players using this prayer will have an image of a magical spell above their character.
One relatively unknown use of this prayer is its use as a means of protection against dragon's breath. While it is not as effective as an Anti-dragon shield or an Anti-fire potion, it will usually allow you to survive a surprise attack by a dragon long enough to get away. When attacked by a dragon's breath using this prayer, the chatbox will inform you that "Your prayers help resist some of the dragonfire!" This use of the prayer doesn't work if the player is already wielding an Anti-dragon shield or under the effects of an anti-fire potion, however.
[edit] History
On RuneScape Classic, this prayer was known as "paralyze monster". It required a prayer level of 37 to use and was 100% effective on all NPCs (since NPCs did not use magic or ranged on RuneScape Classic). This prayer did not work on players in the Wilderness or duels.
