'''Prayer of Holding''' is one of the first spells taught to burgeoning [[Cleric]]s, allowing them to interfere with the power controlling [[undead]] monsters. [[Creature]]s thus held are rendered immobile, unable to attack and given a substantial penalty when attempting to defend. |

While the spell remains in effect, the bound undead are held rigidly in place. Thus, if the cleric wishes to knock the creature [[prone]] (either by use of a weapon, spell damage, or [[Unbalance]]), this should be done before casting the spell. |

When imbedded by the [[Magic Item Creation (420)]] or [[Holy Receptacle (325)]] spells, or charged via [[Charge Item (517)]], Prayer of Holding counts as a level 8 spell. Many higher-level clerics hunting undead will prepare one or two gems containing this spell prior to hunting to conserve mana. |

This spell is in many ways similar to the [[Major Spiritual]] spell [[Bind (214)|Bind]], but has a lower cost and works only on the [[undead]]. |

Prayer of Holding is a warding spell that allows clerics to interfere with the power controlling undead creatures. Targets are rendered immobile, unable to attack and given a substantial defense penalty. Every seven seconds (the minimum duration of the spell), the creature has a random chance to break out of the binding and end the spell. Cleric spell ranks and the warding margin reduce this chance. As time goes on, the spell weakens and the chance for the creature to break the spell increases.
Mana Cost
The mana cost for this spell is calculated by a seed 1 summation of the target's level, capped at 4.
Target level 1 3 6 10+ Mana cost 1 2 3 4
When imbedded by the Magic Item Creation (420) or Holy Receptacle (325) spells, or charged via Charge Item (517), Prayer of Holding counts as a level 8 spell. Many higher-level clerics hunting undead will prepare one or two gems containing this spell prior to hunting to conserve mana.
