 The spell is effective against extraplanar beings who have trespassed upon the Prime Material, forcing their departure without direct confrontation.  Once the time of its banishment has passed, however, the restriction lifts and the creature is once again able to return.  It's choice to return depends on the circumstances of it's banishment — it may be too fearful to return, given the strength of the caster, or it may bear a grievance that it seeks to resolve.
-Moreover, though abjure prevents the direct return of the affected creature, it does not sever its influence.  Minions, followers or lesser manifestations of the abjured being may still act on its behalf. A powerful creature may command its servants from afar, orchestrating plans to undermine the caster or those responsible for its banishment. If left unchecked, these agents may work to destabilize the conditions that led to the creature’s removal or prepare for its eventual return.
