The subject does not need to breathe, eat, or drink while bound, nor does it age. Choose one of the following forms of confinement:
| |
| − | * '''Slumber''': This version causes the subject to become unconscious.
| |
| − | * '''Chaining''': The subject is confined to the spot it occupied when it received the spell, but can act normally there. Nothing can move the creature from the spot as long as the ritual is active.
| |
| − | * '''Bound Slumber''': This is a combination of chaining and slumber.
| |
| − | * '''Enshrinement''': The subject is imprisoned in an object at least as large as itself. It is unconscious, but any creature touching the shrine can awaken it and communicate with it. The creature cannot leave the container, attack, or use any of its powers or abilities.
| |
| − | *'''Metamorphosis:''' The subject assumes gaseous form, except for its head or face. Alternatively it can be shrunk to a height of 1 inch or even less. It is held harmless in a gem, flask, jar or other container, which may be transparent if you so choose. The creature remains aware of its surroundings and can speak, but it cannot leave the container, attack, or use any of its powers or abilities.
| |
| − | The duration depends on the result of the Religion check. It is common practice to institute a yearly ceremony to re-bind a powerful creature bound this way. The ritual can be broken by casting this ritual again and achieving a better duration than the current binding. If the creature is bound to an object, destroying the object frees the creature.

If the original creature has reached the end of its natural life span (that is, it has died of natural causes), any cloning attempt fails.
| |
| − | To create the duplicate, you must have a piece of flesh (not hair, nails, scales, or the like) with a volume of at least 1 cubic inch that was taken from the original creature’s living body. The piece of flesh need not be fresh, but it must be kept from rotting.

The hand then beckons to that creature and leads it to you if the creature is willing to follow. You can place a name, symbol, or single-word-text on the hand as an identifier, but the subject gains no other knowledge of your identity.
| |
| − | When the spell is cast, the hand appears in front of you. You then specify a person (or any creature) by physical description, which can include race, gender, and appearance but not ambiguous factors such as level, alignment, or class. If there are several possible subjects, the hand appears to the closes one. The hand appears near the subject and beckons the creature to follow it. If the subject does so, the hand points in your direction, indicating the most direct feasible route. The hand hovers 2 squares in front of the subject, moving before it at a speed of as much as 12. Once the hand leads the subject back to you, it disappears. If the subject chooses not to follow, the hand continues to beckon for the duration, then disappears. The subject is not compelled to follow the hand or act in any particular way toward you, and can dismiss the hands as a minor action. If the spell expires while the subject is en route to you, the hand disappears; the subject must then rely on her own devices to locate you.
| |
| − | The ghostly hand has no physical form. It is invisible to anyone except you and the subject. It cannot engage in combat or execute any other task aside from locating a subject. It can’t pass through solid objects and will only indicate a path the subject could squeeze through. The path might lead through locked doors or other dangers if no other path is available. The hand will not otherwise avoid traps or dangers.
| |
| − | The range of the spell depends on the result of the Religion check.

You do not need to see the beast, but you must think of a specific creature, which usually means you must have scouted them out beforehand. Each creature must be of a lower level than the character who selects it, and the Nature check suffers a penalty equal to the highest level creature selected. Compare the final Nature check against the Will defense of each creature. If successful, that creature is tamed and will serve as a mount or beast of burden while the ritual lasts. It will not fight.

| − | * A fey creature is generally unwilling to serve, but can be coaxed and bargained with. Depending on how it is treated, it can be very cooperative or sullen and hostile. Summoned using Arcana skill.
| |
| − | * A shadow creature or undead serves because it is bound, and generally takes out its frustration on anyone except the summoner. Shadow creatures are summoned using Arcana, undead using Religion.
| |
| − | * A beast of any origin is summoned using Nature skill and can be relied upon to fight as it naturally would; it can be ordered otherwise, but this creates tension and is prone to mishaps.
