This spell magically bars a door, gate or valve of wood, metal or stone.

The magical closure holds the portal fast just as if it were securely stopped and locked.

The range of the spell is 2" per level of experience of the caster, and it lasts for 1 round per level.

Note that any extra-dimensional creature (demon, devil, elemental, etc.) will shatter such a held portal.

A magic-user of four or more experience levels higher than the spell caster can open the held portal at will. A knock spell (q.v.) or dispel magic spell (q.v.) will negate the hold portal. Held portals can be broken or battered down.

MM, p.6. MAGIC RESISTANCE. [...] Note also that the magic resistance of a creature has an effect on certain existing spells such as hold portal, where it indicates the probability of the magic resistance shattering the existing spell. [...]
