Effect

Bonds, a door, a chest or a gate held by the Word of Binding cannot be opened by mundane means. Once bound, only the expiration of the spell, the destruction of the object, the Rhyme of Opening or Sign of Abrogation spells can undo the Word of Binding. A creature held with ropes secured by the Word of Binding could cut the rope to free itself, but the knot will not come undone until the spell expires.
