Cardan's Treacherytrap Formula

E/F/M:

Because the subject must not know about the laying of this dweomer. it is typically cast just prior to the coiling or summoning of a Nether Planes creature or being. It is a trap laid to catch the perfidious subject and turn the tables. so to speak. At such time as the subject attempts to assault or mislead with deadly intent the sorcerer, the Effect .uses the subject. to itself be held fast for as many CTs time as it would have inflicted damage on the practitioner, or else itself be misled into granting a service without receiving anything in return as payment The dweomer is too weak to affect more potent beings or the terms of Pacts, but it functions quite handily in most other cases.
