Protection
Protection is a brand which adds a bonus to the player's AC. If applied to a melee weapon, the bonus is +5. If applied to a shield, the bonus is +3.
Strategy
This is a nice brand for casters who don't use their weapon much.
History
Prior to 0.6, ranged weapons could have this as well. Now they receive Evasion instead.
