Greater Planar Binding
This spell has two modes of operation: targeting a single outsider, or summoning a planar ally. Targeted outsiders are paralyzed for 1 round per 2 caster levels if it fails a Will save. If used on the ground, the type of summoned ally is based on the caster's alignment, and the summoned outsider scales with the caster levels:
- Caster Level < 18: Summons a Strong Outsider
- Caster Level < 21: Summons a Greater Outsider
- Caster Level < 26: Summons an Epic Outsider
Caster Level < 31: Summons a Legendary Outsider (if the caster has the Spell Focus: Conjuration Feat, otherwise the scaling stops at the previous creature) Caster Level >= 31: Summons a Majestic Outsider (if the caster has the Greater Spell Focus: Conjuration Feat, otherwise the scaling stops at the previous creature)

How it works
- Aimed at an outsider, the Will save is against your normal spell DC +5. Only outsiders can be bound.
- Cast on the ground, a Cleric with the Good or Evil domain summons a stronger ally.
