Tenebrous Tether summons shadowy chains that root the target in place. While the caster maintains concentration, the target will remain rooted and all damage over time effects currently afflicting the target from Energy Maelstrom (710), Pestilence (716), or Torment (718) will trigger every second.

If the target dies while tethered, any remaining effects of 710, 716, and 718 on the target will transfer to another creature in the room.

This spell can commonly be found in clear glass wands.
