Skill Rules & Full Description
Spell Verbal: "I Create a Magical Seal That Will ...Bind"
Cost: 5 Power Point • Duration: Instant
- This spell attaches both of the target’s feet to the ground and both of the target’s arms to their sides. A Bind spell makes both spell casting and combat impossible. A bound character cannot be moved since their feet are attached to the ground, and if they are holding something in their hands, they cannot release it. Another player can remove an item from the target’s hand(s), but doing so requires a +3 or more Strength Bonus and frees the target’s arms. A bound character cannot be given a Killing Blow, provided that the character can still twist around.
- A Bind spell can be partially broken with a +3 or more Strength Bonus. It takes 5 seconds to free either the character’s arms or legs or 10 seconds to free both. If the character uses a Giant Strength spell to free themselves it would require two spells – the act of breaking either the arms or legs free counts as one action.
- There is a visible effect to this spell, and it is obvious to any one looking if the character is free or not.
