**Components:** V, S, M (holy water or powdered silver and iron, which

   single: frightened; immunity by protection from evil and good spell

The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types have
disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't
be :ref:`charmed`, :ref:`frightened`, or possessed by them. If the target is already
:ref:`charmed`, :ref:`frightened`, or possessed by such a creature, the target has
advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.
