Protect from Magic is a Prayer accessible at level 37 . When used, the player will become immune to most 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 prayer will not, however, provide additional protection if used in conjunction with an Anti-dragon shield or an Anti-fire potion. The power of this prayer is sufficient to completely block the attacks of a high-level godly avatar of Bandos. Not all forms of magical effects can be nullified by the Prayer, however, Iban's attacks, though clearly mystical in nature, are capable of harming players with this prayer on, and the use of this Prayer cannot prevent monks from magically healing you.
