History
When Sphere of Protection was first enabled in the realms, it was typically referred to as the Sphere of Death. Casting this spell on an enemy may or may not have given them the boost the spell was supposed to enact, however what is without doubt is that once the spell wore off, the critter would be in mortal danger, even from adventurers far below the level the enemey would be used to slaughtering en masse.
Cougars and Rock Trolls were most often the targets of this spell, as by the time the adventurers were able to hunt much higher things, the spell had already been remedied.
