Wizardry: Binding

Finally, there's the Binding spell that is actually a group of similar spells. For the purpose of converting to GURPS, I will makes them separate spells. And now I'm done with Player's Handbook for real.

    Binding: Bound Slumber
    Keywords: Resisted (Will).
    Full Cost: 26 points.
    Casting Roll: Skill.
    Components: V, S.
    Cost: 5 FP + 1 character point.
    Casting Time: 10 minutes.
    Range: Touch.
    Duration: Permanent.

    Binding: Bound Slumber creates magical restraints that confine the subject and emanate an antipathy field. The spell also causes the subject to become comatose. While the spell is active, the subject is in suspended animation – he doesn’t need to eat, drink, breathe, and does not age. When casting this spell, note your margin of success. Creatures (except the caster) that come within 4 yards of the subject will feel an intense unease, an urge to be somewhere else. Each second, they make a Will roll penalized by your margin of success. If the victim loses, he must flee the area as soon as possible and becomes unable to reenter the area for three minutes.
    This spell cannot be dispelled by Dispel Magic, but Remove Curse or Break Enchantment will lift its effects. You can also specify triggering conditions that end the spell and release the creature whenever they occur. These triggers can be as simple or elaborate as you desire, but the GM must agree that the condition is reasonable and has a likelihood of coming to pass. The conditions can be based on a creature’s name or identity but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities. Once the spell is cast, its triggering conditions cannot be changed.

    Binding: Chaining creates magical restraints that confine the subject and emanate an antipathy field. The subject is paralyzed, but does not enter suspended animation, so he may die of hunger or thirst. When casting this spell, note your margin of success. Creatures (except the caster) that come within 4 yards of the subject will feel an intense unease, an urge to be somewhere else. Each second, they make a Will roll penalized by your margin of success. If the victim loses, he must flee the area as soon as possible and becomes unable to reenter the area for three minutes.
