Force Sphere
Spell, Sorcery, level 4
A large invisible bubble of force that keeps out weather, insects, gases, small animals and ordinary missiles for a day; heavy creatures can break through.
From the book
The caster raises an invisible sphere of energy 10 ft. in radius, a useful shelter from bad weather, insects, magical mists and gases, and small animals. It is not especially strong, but it stops ordinary missiles such as arrows, crossbow bolts and small or medium rocks, and keeps out creatures and objects of 100 lbs. or less. Heavier or stronger creatures can force their way through in 10-60 seconds, and projectiles over 100 lbs. punch straight through. It lasts 24 hours or until the caster dispels it.

A scene
Night falls hard on the steppes of Scythia, with sleet on the wind and wolves howling close by. The sorcerer Darya plants her staff in the frozen ground and raises an invisible bubble over the camp, twenty feet across. The sleet slides off it. The wolves come, circle, and throw themselves at it, and bounce off one after another, snarling. Then a great brown bear shoulders its way out of the dark and leans its whole weight against the sphere. It bulges, and slowly gives. Darya reaches for her next spell.
