Imprison - Midtguard's Forceful Imprisonment
Level 9 – Celestial
"With eldritch force I build a Prison."

This spell seals the victim into a rigid, form-fitting and unbreakable barrier, trapping them within. The victim cannot move, speak, touch-cast, Gypsy Curse, or perform any skills requiring movement. The spell lasts for one hour, but may be dropped by the caster at any time if he or she touches the victim and wishes it. Such a method can be used even if the caster is Silenced or inside the Imprison. Any observers are aware that the Imprison was dropped, and they might know who dropped it. A Dispel Magic will bring down the Imprison, but will not dispel any other spell effects on the creature inside.

Any creature sealed within an Imprison spell cannot be affected by any spell, nor will they take any damage from physical attacks or traps. However, it does not provide complete and absolute protection against harm. The victim will suffocate if placed underwater (assuming the victim needs to breathe to survive). The Imprisoned creature will also die from massive damage from falling from a great height. The Imprison spell does not stop any falling damage that is caused to a person. The largest and most powerful mass mechanical traps are also sometimes capable of overcomingmagical effects such as Imprison. For instance, while an Imprisoned creature wouldn’t immediately perish from a deadly ceiling trap, the ceiling would probably give way, crashing around the creature. While others in the room would die immediately, the Imprisoned creature would not die until after the spell expired.

A Vampire Charm or other gaze attack will still work provided the Imprisoned creature’s eyes were open at the time the Imprison was cast.

As with a Ward, no gasses other than air can get inside. The barrier is not a frictionless surface, and has as much friction as a normal creature. A victim of the Imprison is completely aware of his or her surroundings and unless unconscious or otherwise impaired will remember all that occurred while Imprisoned.

This spell will prevent the victim from being searched and only the caster may deliver killing force to the recipient. If the killing force fails (for example, if the creature inside is immune to the caster’s attack), then the Imprison will drop as soon as the killing force is completed and the creature may then defend itself.
