Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S

EFFECT

Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./level)
Target one creature
Duration 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes

DESCRIPTION

You pin the target’s shadow to its current location, causing the target to become entangled and preventing it from moving more than 5 feet from its original position, as if its shadow were anchored to the terrain. Each round on its turn, the target can attempt a new saving throw to end the effect as a full-round action. A flying creature can only hover in place or fall while entangled in this manner.

DESCRIPTION

This spell automatically fails when cast on a creature that doesn’t throw a shadow, and it ends if the creature is entirely in an area with no illumination.
