Merlin used this spell to protect himself from Kilgharrah when the angered dragon breathed fire against him. The young warlock displayed his powerful magic with it, being able to stop completely the Great Dragon's attack (Le Morte d'Arthur).

In the episode "Aithusa", Merlin cast a spell ("Þrosm tohweorfe"), related to the element of Air, to protect himself from the poisonous smoke released by a trap door in the Tomb of Ashkanar. With this incantation the young warlock was able to stop the smoke, create an air current and disperse it. It's possible that this enchantment is a form of shield spell.

Merlin was able to gather his strength and cast a powerful whirlwind spell against the Witch. Morgana stretched out her hand toward the cyclone, focusing her energies on it. Merlin pointed the whirlwind too, pushing it forward. The High Priestess was not able to stop or control it, so she lowered her hand with a terrified expression on her face. She was soon hit by Emrys' spell and hurled away, badly wounded (A Servant of Two Masters).

Although not actually a spell, magical beings seem to have a certain natural protection against certain enchantments like stunning spells. When these forms of magic are put on a normal human being, he is always killed or knocked out. On the other hand, sorcerers can be wounded but not easily defeated.
