Effect

Touch the target (melee attack roll if unwilling). You reshape their skeleton into a prison. Their ribs extend and interlock, their spine curves, their limbs fold inward. The target is Immobilized and cannot take physical actions for 1 minute. They can still speak, see, and use purely mental abilities.

Resist

IRON + Resilience vs. your Channeling Sum.

Steps

+1 minute duration per Step.

Requirement

If the target has AR 2+, the armor prevents the reshaping (you can’t reach the bones through plate).

Special

Releasing the target requires the caster’s touch (Tempo 3) or a Medicine check (TN 15) by someone else. Forced release without medical expertise deals 1d3 damage (bones snap back violently).
