but he still must be able to see "where" he cast the spell in case of T, C or M spells. Hence the binding. The gagging and the handcuffing is to allow only spells of IQ 5 lower then the wizards level, that wearing iron, are cast only at -4DX.
So a "treated" Wizard of 20 IQ, for example, can cast only IQ 15 or lower spells, at -4 DX and none can be a Creation, a Thrown or a Missile Spell.
Fairly acceptable risk.
