			This battlefield ritual allows a powerful magical attack to be unleashed against a group of enemies. It binds them in place for a short time, allowing the magician's allies to overwhelm them if they act quickly. It is especially useful when used to support soldiers with [[Weapons & armour#Pole-arms\|pole-arms]] against enemies with short weapons, or to pin down skirmishers so that [[Combat skills#Marksman\|archers]] can devastate them with arrows or crossbow bolts.

	~~This~~ battlefield ~~ritual allows a powerful magical attack~~ to ~~be unleashed against a group of enemies~~. ~~It binds them in place for a short time, allowing~~ the magician's allies to ~~overwhelm them if they act quickly~~. It is ~~especially useful when used~~ to ~~support soldiers with [[Weapons & armour#Pole-arms\|pole-arms]] against enemies with~~ short ~~weapons, or~~ to ~~pin down skirmishers so that [[Combat skills#Marskman\|archers]] can devastate them with arrows or crossbow bolts~~.		Of all the similar battlefield rituals, this is the easiest to perform, but it also requires the most strategic thinking if it is to have an impact. Unless the magician's allies are prepared to take advantage of the period of confusion the power of this ritual provides, then it is likely to be wasted. One place where the ritual excels is in capturing high-value targets; the ability to entangle a group of opponents from a distance (albeit a short distance) is a rare power usually unavailable to even the most powerful magician. The magic is also indiscriminate - it can be hurled into a group, entangling them all, and then the target can be picked out of the (hopefully) subdued unit. Finally, unlike rituals such as [[Howling Despite of the Yawning Maw]], the magic has no lasting effect on those caught by it - which means that it is less important to ensure no allies are caught in the area.

	~~Like similar rituals, the attack~~ is ~~temporarily stored in~~ a ~~[[Weapons & armour#Implements\|rod~~, ~~staff or wand]]~~, and then ~~unleashed at~~ the ~~most tactical moment~~. ~~I fall~~ the ~~similar battlefield rituals~~, ~~this~~ is the ~~easiest to perform.~~.

	~~The focus of~~ this ritual ~~is an implement~~, ~~and the role it plays in the ritual can be quite important~~. ~~Some ritualists take it in turn to spin and twirl the implement, passing it back and forth~~ as ~~the strength of the ritual grows. Others place the implement in the middle of the ritual~~ and ~~move around it~~, ~~touching it with their hands~~ and ~~magic as they increase the power~~ of ~~the ritual~~, or ~~binding it~~ in ~~some way as~~ their magic ~~builds~~. ~~Many covens create a specific implement for use in this ritual~~, ~~usually a staff, and mark that staff permanently with runes~~ of ~~domination and mastery~~.		Other common elements in this ritual might include runes, especially [[Hirmok]]. Beasts such as spiders and great serpents that crush their prey may be mentioned, and some [[The Brass Coast\|Freeborn]] use images of octopi, squid or even [[Mundane beasts#Kraken\|kraken]] in their magic. The constellation of [[The Chain]] are sometimes invoked, as are the names of the Autumn [[Eternals]] know as the [[Lictors]].
