	This spell binds the target, preventing them from moving their feet for a short period. Some victims of the spell describe the sensation of invisible chains shacking them to the spot, while others speak of finding it impossible to make their legs move (as if paralysed), or speak of feeling a massive weight holding them in place. As with [[repel]] and [[paralysis]], incantations that employ similar magical principles, it has both offensive and defensive applications. A [[Magical_skills#Magician\|magician]] might use it to hold an attacker in place while they retreat or to prevent their quarry from fleeing. While the spell appears on the surface to be weaker than the paralysis spell, it has two significant advantages. First, it requires less mana to cast. Second, it is just as effective against an opponent with a shield or who is adept at parrying a magicians implement.

	Several [[magic items]] exist that employ the power to entangle opponents, often in the form of magical staffs.

Some items increase the versatility of the spell; the [[Furrowed Wake]] for example allows a magician who has mastered entangle to modify the force involved to [[Calls#STRIKEDOWN\|sweep an opponent off their feet]] rendering them even more vulnerable - or providing more time to make an escape. More potently, the exotic [[Thorns of the Rose]] allow a suitably skilled wielder to inflict a merciless strike against someone they have entangled.
