Sigil of Binding is a level 3 Hexes spell which creates sigil traps, which when stepped on, stop movement for a short time.

Hexslingers start with this spell in their libraries.

  • Power Cap = 100

Useful Info

Creates two sigils randomly within 2 tiles of the caster. They are considered traps, so they can only be placed on floor tiles; they cannot be placed on doors (even when open), shops, water, other traps, etc. You cannot cast this spell if one or more sigils are already active.

When a creature, including the player, steps on a sigil, they cannot move for a short time. After a monster is trapped, they become immune to this spell, and gain the Sprint effect (+20% movement speed), for a time afterwards. Players do not get the Sprint effect.

Against monsters, the binding lasts for power/12 + 4 - HD/4 to power/8 + 7 - HD/4 turns. The Sprint effect lasts twice as long as the binding. Against players, the binding lasts for 3 to 6 turns.

The sigils themselves last for 5 + pow/4 to 8 + pow/2 turns. You get a warning two turns before the sigils expire.

History
