Default [Sorcery] Binding Demons

Thinking about spells to bind demons. I have a few suggestions:

1) Mind Control

2) Affliction with some sort of Compulsive Behavior: Stay inside the Pentagram

3) Binding, Unbreakable and based on Will

Any other suggestions?

It depends on what you mean by "binding." Do you mean forcing them to do something for you, trapping them in a physical location, etc?

Trapping them in a physical location. And I want them to be trapped mentally, if that makes sense. In a way so that brawn doesn't help them.

The problem with many of these is that the demon will get one attempt to break free once per second, so the demon won't be in for long. Maybe paralysis or daze - although I would want the enchanter to be able to communicate with them.

You may use Wall with No Signature and Cosmic "Indestructible Wall" +100%. It would be nice if:

- Accesibility: Wall must follow a pentagram painted in the floor
- Terminal Condition: Ends if somebody outside the pentragam breaks/erases the drawing

Affliction 1 (Will; Disadvantage, Dread (Leaving Circle), +30%*) [13].

* Leaving a magic circle is treated as Very Common for this purpose – it’s always present when the victim is given this Dread!

My thought was:

Affliction 1 (Will; Disadvantage, Divine Curse (Cannot Leave Pentagram), +x%).

Similar, but slightly different...
