Level: 5
Range: 10 yds/level
Duration: 2 rounds
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 5 segments
Area of Effect: One creature

This spell creates a pair of
disembodied hands that will seek out a creature’s throat
and strangle the creature with the same effect as an attack
with a garrote.

The hands must make a successful attack
roll to grab the creature’s throat, attacking with +4 to hit
on the mage’s usual attack roll, because of the speed and
ferocity of the attack. The strangling grip will strangle its
victim to death by the end of the next round unless the
creature is freed of the hands. The victim can break the
grip if he makes a successful roll to bend bars. The grip can
also be released if the mage’s concentration is broken. The
limits on which creatures can be affected by the spell are
the same as the restrictions on the use of a normal garrote.

MC: A pair of gloves sewn into a
clutching grip around the neck of a bottle.
