Imprisonment
You attempt to block a hostile creature inside of a magical prison. If the creature fails a Will Saving Throw against Chaos, the creature gets paralyzed and imprisoned for 3 rounds. If the creature is immune to Paralysis or to mind-affecting spells, it will be rooted instead. Additionally, for the duration of the spell, target creature receives 1d10 + Warlock levels + Charisma modifier Pure damage each round (halved by a successful Will save against Chaos). This spell has a natural boost to its DC of +3.

How it works
- The save against the hold is Will against chaos.
- A target with Paralysis Immunity or Mind Spells Immunity is rooted in place instead.
- Each blow does 1d10 + your Charisma modifier + your caster level, as pure damage.
- A successful Will save against chaos halves each blow. Spell resistance is checked on every blow.
