When initially discovered, this very potent
item will appear to be little more than a somewhat rusty iron sphere.

Close examination will reveal that there are bandings on the 3-inchdiameter
globe. Magic detection will reveal a strong dweomer of indeterminable
nature. When the proper command word is spoken and
the spherical iron device is hurled at an opponent, the bands will expand
and tightly constrict the target creature if a successful, unadjusted
“to hit” roll is made. A single creature of up to frostlfire
giant-size can be captured thus and held immobile until the command
word is spoken to bring the bands into globular form again. Any creature
so banded gains the chance to break (and ruin) the bands, however.
This chance equals the captive’s chance to bend bars. Only one
attempt is possible before the bands are so set as to be inescapable.

Bilarro is a name I conjured up out of thin air. (*)
