Useful Info

Creates two sigils randomly within 2 tiles of the caster. They are considered traps, so they can only be placed on floor tiles; they cannot be placed on doors (even when open), shops, water, other traps, etc. You cannot cast this spell if one or more sigils are already active.

When a creature, including the player, steps on a sigil, they cannot move for a short time. After a monster is trapped, they gain a Sprint effect (-0.3 decaAut movement delay) for a time afterwards. If a monster has Sprint, even from a source other than this spell, it is immune to Sigil of Binding. Players do not get the Sprint effect, but the player's allies still get it.

Against monsters, the binding lasts for 4 + power/12 + HD/4 to 7 + power/8 - HD/4 turns. The Sprint effect lasts twice as long as the binding. Against players, the binding lasts for 3 to 6 turns.

The sigils themselves last for 5 + pow/4 to 8 + pow/2 turns. You get a warning two turns before the sigils expire.
