This abjuration grants a creature limited protection to damage from all of the five energy types: acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic. Minor Elemental Barrier absorbs 15% of damage the creature would otherwise take from the specified energy type, regardless of whether the source of damage is natural or magical. The spell protects the recipient's equipment as well.

Endure elements absorbs only damage. The character could still suffer unfortunate side effects, such as drowning in acid (since drowning damage comes from lack of oxygen) or becoming encased in ice.

Note: Endure elements overlaps (and does not stack with) resist elements and protection from elements. If a character is warded by protection from elements and one or both of the other spells, the most recent spell sets the character's resistance.
