Dorukan casting cloister on his dungeon, during a flashback in The Exposition Fairy
Cloister is an epic level spell created by the wizard Dorukan. It is the ultimate abjuration spell; according to Celia, it blocks out Teleportation, Scrying, Plane Shifting, Locating Creatures and Sending ethereal jaunts.[1] Dorukan wore the focus for the spell as a headband.
After Xykon took over control of Azure City, he used this to protect his new stronghold. [2]
Once someone inside the Cloister left it, the effects would still follow them temporarily (one week per caster level).
The spell has a specific exception for Summoning spells provided they were cast from inside the cloistered area, which allowed Dorukan to summon Lirian to his chambers[3] and allowed Redcloak to summon devils[4]. It also allowed Haley to accidentally summon Celia to Azure City with Roy's talisman after it was damaged by Tsukiko's Electric Orb spell.[5]
Furthermore, there is a limit to the protection against Teleportation spells that Cloister provides, as Vaarsuvius was able to force their way through the Cloister cast by Xykon between A Lot Can Happen in Ten Minutes and Two Eyes in the Dark via the Epic Teleport spell granted to them by Ganonron as part of the Soul Splice.[6] [7]
