Elixir of Protection from lightning
Alchemy, Herbal elixir
One of the Elixirs of Protection: the drinker is shielded from harm by lightning, and warded creatures cannot come within a foot of him.
From the book
Every Elixir of Protection guards the drinker against harm from one particular kind of creature or effect. Creatures of the warded kind cannot come within 1 ft. of the protected person. This one, brewed from 4 drs. of laurel, wards against lightning.
Herbal elixirs behave much like potions but wear off far sooner, lasting d6+4 minutes unless noted otherwise. Each starts from a fluid ounce of clear water, uses fresh or dried herbs, and needs a mortar and pestle and a fire. Brewing takes 1-4 hours (half that for an alchemist), with a 90% chance of success plus 1% per level of ability, to a maximum of 99%. Ready-made elixirs sell for at least 200 G.P.
