This impressed spell requires a piece of tentacle from
a squid or octopus. The caster waves the tentacle about while thinking evil
thoughts. To release the spell, the caster makes a rising motion with his hand,
wiggling his fingers as he does so. Inky black tentacles will erupt from the
ground in a 10-meter square area. The tentacles will grab anything in the area
of effect, holding them and preventing them from moving out of their square
until the duration ends or the tentacles are cleared from their square. The
tentacles cannot be made to let go unless they are destroyed. The Tentacles
have a Toughness and Defensive Unarmed Combat equal to the effect value of the
spell, Damage done to tentacles across the area of effect accumulates and the
spell ends when the tentacles take 4 wounds. All shock and KO damage is
ignored. Any character delivering at least 1 wound clears the effect completely
from the 1 meter square targeted. Characters within the area of effect take a
penalty to all movement based actions equal to the power push of the amount the
casting total beats 18. Two otherworldly tentacle spells cannot be layered on
top of the same area.
