Both Protection from Energy and Resist Energy spells are in Sor/Wiz list AND have DF component.
How do arcane casters provide it?

02-17-06, 09:19 PM DF is for Divine casters only. Arcane casters only need to bother with arcane material components/foci (which these spells do not have).

02-17-06, 10:13 PM Well, and where can I find a (more or less) official rule that arcane casters can ignore DF requirement?

===
Divine Focus (DF): A divine focus component is an item of spiritual significance. The divine focus for a cleric or a paladin is a holy symbol appropriate to the character’s faith.
If the Components line includes F/DF or M/DF, the arcane version of the spell has a focus component or a material component (the abbreviation before the slash) and the divine version has a divine focus component (the abbreviation after the slash).

Or you could read the PH.

Or you could read the PH.I did.:) But I have found there no idea about simple DF component for wizard, not for divine casters mentioned there.
