Potestas: a D&D3E supplement

Spells

Bind Soul

Necromancy [Arcane]
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close
Target: One corpse
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: No
Minimum Power Points: 9
XP Cost: 5/HD of soul to be bound

You draw the soul from a newly dead body and imprison it in an object. The subject must have been dead no more than 1 round per Power point expended. The soul, once trapped in the object, cannot be freed by any means other than destroying the object or successfully using remove magic on the object. Once freed, the soul is still dead.
The target creature is allowed a Will saving throw, unless you know and use the creature's true name when casting the spell, in which case no saving throw is allowed. If the saving throw succeeds, the creature's soul resists the spell. The spell automatically fails if the subject has more Hit Dice than the number of Power points expended.
Restriction: as an arcane spell, only arcane spellcasters can learn and cast this spell.
