Skill Rules & Full Description

Rank 2:

Spell Verbal: I Create a Magical Seal That Will...

  • ...Bind.        5 Power Point     1 Minute.
    • 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.
 
  • ...Lock.     5 Power Points    1 Hour.
    • This spell will seal a door, hold an object in place or attach an object to another object. A Lock spell can be represented out-of-game by duct tape, but the caster is responsible for supplying the duct tape to attach the objects.
    • This spell will not work on a character. An object cannot be attached to a character and a character cannot be attached to anything.
    • A Lock spell can be broken with +3 or more Strength Bonus such as by invoking a Giant Strength spell. If an object under the effects of a Lock spell is destroyed, then the spells ends.
