You create an impervious sphere which surrounds you such that you float in the center of it. You may choose to stand upon the bottom of the inside of the sphere if you prefer. The outside surface of the sphere is mirror-like and reflects gaze attacks, but the sphere is transparent to those who are within it. Energy effects (fire, cold, electrical, acid, sonic) and physical objects are unable to penetrate the sphere from either direction (from within or from without). The sphere flies about at your direction (perfect maneuverability, speed 30 ft.) as a move equivalent action. You may carry other creatures inside of the sphere; they stand upon the sphere's bottom interior.
The sphere will not intersect physical objects upon its creation, its surface molding around any physical barriers, becoming smooth and spherical as such objects are removed from its area of effect. The sphere is not subject to damage of any sort except from a rod of cancellation, a wand of negation, disintegrate, or a targeted dispel magic. These destroy the sphere without any harm to its occupants.
Material Component: A small glass globe which contains a drop of mercury.
