Target: One humanoid
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

Magical chains slowly crush the life out of your struggling captive.

The targeted creature is wrapped in glowing green chains of magical force. Khordrah's chains, named after the dwarven tinker-priest who created the spell, immediately pin the target's arms to its side, leaving it unable to make attacks with its hands or hand-held weapons, cast spells with somatic components, or take any action requiring the use of its arms or hands. The target can, however, speak normally and take move actions each round reliant of its feet (ground movement, jumping, etc.) - at least at first.

As a standard action, the target can attempt to break free of the chains with a DC 25 Strength check or DC 25 Escape Artist check. However, each failed attempt the target makes to break free causes the chains to constrict, dealing 2d6 points of crushing damage with each failed attempt and increasing by +2 the DC of the next attempt to break free. In addition, after suffering 4d6 points of crushing damage, the creature becomes fatigued and unable to speak and takes 1 point of Constitution damage. After suffering 6d6 points of crushing damage, the creature becomes exhausted and falls prone, unable to regain its footing, and takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage. After 8d6 points of crushing damage, the creature takes 1d6 points of Constitution damage and immediately begins to suffocate.

If the spell ends, is dispelled, or the creature breaks free, the creature immediately regains the ability to speak, breath, and regain its footing, but it recovers from exhaustion, fatigue, ability damage, and crushing damage only after the normal amount of rest or magical healing.

Material Component: a few links of chain

Each round of the spell, the targeted creature gets an additional Will save to end the spell.

For example, a 10th-level caster casts this spell on a gnoll and commands it to Approach; the gnoll, failing its Will save, approaches. On the 2nd round, the caster commands the gnoll to Drop; the gnoll fails its Will save and drops its magic weapon. On the 3rd round, the caster picks up the weapon and commands the gnoll to Flee; the gnoll fails its Will save and flees. As the caster walks away on the 4th round, the gnoll is compelled to Flee again; the gnoll, however, makes its Will save and ends the spell, stopping in its tracks.
