A player casting bind.

Bind prevents your victim from moving for 5 seconds, and is the only immobility spell available to free players. It is commonly utilised by free player mages in PvP areas or minigames to prevent vulnerable warriors from running away or attacking the mage. However, if the target is praying against magic, then the binding time is cut to a smaller length of time than the speed of casting another spell, removing most of, if not all the advantage. The only remaining effect is the target needs to click again to move, and if auto-retaliate is on, they will be drawn towards the mage again, even if fleeing.

This spell is especially useful in the Fist of Guthix minigame, as one cast can stop your target in their tracks allowing you to close in. This category of spells is usually used with the (Mystic) Mud Staff since it provides an infinite amount of Earth and Water runes.

Bind costs 781 coins for each cast, 694 coins if an earth supplying staff is wielded, 661 coins if a water supplying staff is wielded and 574 if a Mud staff is wielded.

Remember, you cannot use Ancient Magicks or Lunar Spells if you are using regular Magic.
