DESCRIPTION

You conjure several metal chains to wrap a creature and restrict its movement. A creature that fails its saving throw is considered pinned by the chains; a successful save makes it entangled instead.

A creature that is held by the chains can make Strength check (DC = binding chains’ DC) or an Escape Artist check (DC = binding chains’ DC + 5) as a full-round action to break or escape the chains, which ends the spell. Binding chains cannot bind an incorporeal creature nor a swarm.
