    I'm creating this spell to protect an NPC mage that is "magic
jar'd" in another body, but I see it having many other uses.  Please
let me know if you think it needs any major changes.  It's hard for
me to look at my own creations objectivly.

    Anti "Anti Magic" Magic Shell (Evocation)

    Level: 2                        Components: V,S,M
    Range: Touch                    Casting Time: 1 round
    Duration: 1 day/level           Saving Throw: Special
    Area of Effect: Special

    By means of this spell an invisible shell of magic is created
around a creature or item. The shell is easily detected or dispelled.
In fact, it is there to be dispelled.  If an item entreated with this
spell is the recipient of a dispell magic, passes through a dispell
magic zone, passes through an anti magic shell, etc., the Anti Anti
Magic Magic Shell is destroyed immediatly.  The item inside the shell
has, in essence, gotten a free save.  Any further attempts to dispell
the item are treated normally.
    The spell will create 1 shell per 3 levels of casting ability,
and up to 5 shells may be placed on any one item or creature, but
only from the same casting.  I.e. Melvin the mage 6th level, with 2
spells to cast, can place 1 shell on each of 4 items, or 2 shells on
each of 2 items, but not 4 shells on one item.
    A shell placed on a magical creature protects that creature but
not its possessions.  In the event of an item or creature with
multiple shells caught inside an anti magic shell, dispell magic zone
or similar; each shell is stripped off at the very beginning of each
round.  Unwilling creatures or intelligent items are allowed a save
vs. spells to negate the shell.  The material componant is a down
feather inside as many small silk pouches as the caster can cast
shells.  A pouch dissapears for each shell destroyed.

    I hope this is complete.  Again, please let me know if something
seems amiss about this spell.  I'd rather hear it from you than from
my players.
