Rewrite History 12th-level divination Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous Choose an event that happened at least 1 year ago. You can choose to change the sequence or results of this event as well as the creatures that were present at that time so you can achieve your desired outcome for the present. State your changes clearly to the DM as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance, the greater the change, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. True Binding 12th-level abjuration (high ritual) Casters: at least 9 Casting Time: 7 days Range: Special (see description) Components: V, S, M (ornate indestructible chains forged from the cores of dead stars, a black lotus ground into dust and combined with kraken ink and tarrasque blood, and the true name of the entity to be bound and banished carved into a solid stone block with gold - all of which the spell consumes) Duration: Until dispelled You invoke an unspeakable, unbreakable binding ritual that summons forth an entity of the casters' choice, which is summoned in it's full form, and bound in chains into an extradimensional plane that cuts it off from all reality. The casters of the spell sacrifice their own lives to fuel the power of the spell, pouring forth their own energies to reach the threshold of the required energy to bind the entity they wish. If the total hp of all casters does not reach the necessary threshold, then any number of willing creatures may sacrifice their lives in the casting to reach the threshold. No matter how many creatures are involved, the casters will always be sacrificed first. Entity Type Required Sacrificed Hitpoints Extraplanar Creature (solar, balor, pit fiend, etc) 500hp Demigod or Quasideity 1000hp Lesser Deity 1500hp Greater Deity 2000hp All casters stand in a runic circle painted on a flat surface with a diameter of 120 feet and cast the spell - at the ending of the spell all casters speak the true name of an entity of your choice, which appears within the 120 foot circle between all casters. The casters all begin to disintegrate into pure magical essence, and the chains immediately appear around the entity and begin to pull it down into an extradimensional portal that appears directly below it. The entity cannot break free by any means while this takes place, and when it is trapped within the prison dimension, it's powers and influence cannot reach beyond the prison dimension - if they are a god or power-granting entity, their followers, clerics, paladins, and warlocks or any others that derive powers from the entity immediately lose all powers granted by the entity. No form of extraplanar sense or divination can reach the entity or be heard by them. No magic, item, or power of any form can undo the binding (save for the DIRECT and PHYSICAL influence of an Overdeity), except for the chosen "key". There must always be at least one "key" that allows the spell to be broken - however, this can come in any form conceivable, and is decided by the casters. Examples of such "keys" are as follows: The tears of the mad-god Tharizdun combined with the primordial fires of creation to be anointed on the ritual site Unbound by the efforts of an unborn child By a wish spell cast by the soul-twins of the long lost elven Avariel race. The conjoined efforts of Asmodeus and Corellion Stabbing the ritual site with a staff made of pure liquid blood of a deity of magic In the process of making such a key, realize that you inadvertently create a prophecy that may one day be fulfilled. These keys can only be used at the original site of True Binding and cannot be used via far away means or magic.
