5 Energy PointsEffect
By reciting the incantation or prayer and drawing the Manxlaen Syne for binding around an offering, typically a jewel, the caster binds an entity to their service. The creature must be in range throughout the casting of the spell; hence this is often cast upon a restrained or otherwise trapped target.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against the caster's spellcasting pool. On a failed save the creature is bound into service for the duration of the spell.
Bound creatures must follow their caster's instructions to the best of their ability, to the letter, though may act upon any loopholes they identify in their caster's phrasing. If the creature completes a task before the spell terminates, it will endeavour to return to the caster's side, where it will remain until it receives further instructions or the spell ends.
At second level the duration of this spell becomes 8 days. At third level the duration of this spell becomes 38 days. At fourth level the duration of this spell becomes 1 year. At fifth level the duration of this spell becomes 10 years.

Side/Secondary Effects
If the target critically fails the Wisdom saving throw, the charm effect is convincing enough to also improve the disposition of the target, making them less likely to seek out loopholes in the caster's instructions.
If the target succeeds on the Wisdom saving throw, they frenzy and become hostile to the caster until they can escape. They gain immunity to the effects of this spell for 24hrs and can only be charmed by the caster during that time if they use a spell costing more than 5EP or 5HP.
If the target critically succeeds on the Wisdom saving throw, they use the empathetic link between them and the caster to pull magic away from them. As a consequence, the caster suffers -1 Spellcraft. This effect is considered a curse and persists until the curse is lifted.
