Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The caster attracts the attention of a creature which protects him from unseen attack. This creature watches over the caster from the ethereal plane, intervening against any foe who attempts to attack the caster by surprise, sneak attack, or against any blow which would kill the caster. The creature intercepts the surprise or killing blow, taking the damage instead of the caster. The creature can see invisible, out of phase, camouflaged, or otherwise hidden objects as well as astral and ethereal threats. Once the guardian appears, it remains for 1 minute/ level of the caster. The creature assumes the form of a large greymalkin. It has hit dice equal to 2/3 of the caster’s level and attacks each round with a claw/claw/bite routine doing 3‑12/3‑12/2‑24 damage. The creature has AC18, +1/10 resistance, cold and electricity resistance 10 and immunity to paralysis and charm effects. The caster can only have one guardian greymalkin spell active at any time. The material component for this spell is a 5000gp gem offered to the creature in exchange for its services.
Piece de Rèsistance (Evocation [Sonic])

Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (10 ft./ level)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No
The mage creates a resonance effect which harms creatures bearing spell resistance. When the spell is cast, a grey streak of lightning flashes from the caster’s fingertips to strike the target creature. This spell only affects spell resistant creatures, doing a d6 of damage for every 2 points of spell resistance the creature possesses (maximum 20d6). Creatures with spell immunity to certain level of spells (i.e. rakshasha) take as many d6 as a caster needs in levels to cast the spell in question. Thus rakshasa, immune to all but eighth level or higher spells, take 16d6, because this is the minimum level is needed to cast an eighth level spell. There is no saving throw against this spell, and it cannot bounce or affect more than one creature.
