Prompt 1: Portrait, Painted Prison

A magical spell that turns a painting into a prison.

Effect

Target one unaware or willing creature Saving throw Will Negnates Spell Resistance yes   The target of this spell if successful has their soul trapped in a painting of their likeness remaining ageless and aware of the outside world while trapped in the painting. The targets senses function as per normal centered on the painting depicting them. There is however no way for the being trapped in the painting to communicate with the outside world. If the painting is destroyed the soul trapped with in is imedately freed appearing in the nearest adjacent area large enough for them to materialize.   The spell requires the caster to physicaly create a painting of the intended target as part of an hour long process that ends when the painting is complete and the targets soul is drawn into it the drying magical paint. This long casting time nearly always means the intended target must be tricked into having the protrait completed and that its utility as a combat spell is nearly non-existant.

Discovery

Painted Prison is said to have its origans with the work of the kitsune painter Sayuri the Obsidan Lilly who very litteraly longed to capture not just the likeness of people but their very souls in her art. Others claim this spell has always been in use by the fickle lords of the Faerie who use it to punish those who annoy them while maintining their beauty to apreciate.
