The stable, calming nature of binding spells has always held appeal to earth specialists and this rite is one such example.  Originally intended as a means of practicing the rites needed for binding and melding, this spell has evolved into an effective means of holding an opponent during battle.  While under the effect of this rite, a foe must struggle each round of combat to overcome its effect.  The length of time the rite lasts, as well as the difficulty of overcoming it will increase as your skill in earth lore grows.
