When learning this spell, the mage must choose the specific element that is used when cast. A mage can learn this spell in different elemental schools, but must buy Spell skill ranks in each. In the ice school, this spell is called {{spell badge|ice|inline=1|size=16}} ''Freeze!'', and it traps targets' appendages in blocks of ice. To earth mages, it's {{spell badge|earth|inline=1|size=16}} ''Bury'', and it draws up hard rock around the targets' appendages. Slime mages call this spell {{spell badge|slime|inline=1|size=16}} ''Glue'', which sticks targets in place with a powerful adhesive. Metal mages refer to it as {{spell badge|metal|inline=1|size=16}} ''Shackles'' because metal harnesses appear and lock down targets. Verdance mages call it {{spell badge|verdance|inline=1|size=16}} ''Root'', which causes roots to grow around the targets.

The mage can target not only creatures, but objects and vehicles, too. Unattended objects (e.g. a crate) are automatically pinned, but vehicles in motion (e.g. a wagon) can use the driver's [[Animal Control]] or [[Machinery]] check (whether the vehicle is drawn or powered) in place of a Dodge. A creature, object, or vehicle must fit entirely in the area of effect to be pinned.

The mage causes things to be stuck in place — bad if they're trying to get away, good if they want to not be moved! The mage makes an Attack Roll using the Magic weapon skill, and can choose any targets in the area of effect. If a target fails its Dodge Roll (or opts out), any appendages which are in contact with a surface (e.g. feet on the ground, hands on a bar) are trapped. The target gains the grabbed condition. If the target rolls a Critical Failure, they gain the immobilized condition. The mage makes a Casting Roll, the result of which is what the target must meet on a Might check to be freed from the entrapment (the target's buddies can try to yank their pal out of the trap with their own Might checks, also). Slam attempts on trapped targets must also meet the Casting Roll.

The mage can target not only creatures, but objects and vehicles, too. Unattended objects (e.g. a crate) are automatically pinned, but vehicles in motion (e.g. a wagon) can use the driver's Animal Control or Machinery check (whether the vehicle is drawn or powered) in place of a Dodge. A creature, object, or vehicle must fit entirely in the area of effect to be pinned.

A mage can cast this spell using any of the listed elements, but must buy Elemental Skill ranks in each. Every elemental school has a nickname for this spell.
