DESCRIPTION

You conjure several metal chains to wrap a creature and restrict its movement. A creature that fails its saving throw is entangled and falls prone; a flying creature falls to the ground and takes fall damage, as appropriate. While bound, it is anchored in place (preventing it from moving) and cannot stand from prone. A successful save makes it entangled only (and able to move).

A creature that is held by the chains can make a Strength check (DC = binding chain’s DC) or an Escape Artist check (DC = binding chain’s DC + 5) as a full-round action to pull apart or escape the chains, which ends the spell. Binding chains cannot bind an incorporeal creature or a swarm.
