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 penalty when attempting to defend. The duration of this spell is based upon the endroll but not in a simple manner. The minimum duration is 8 seconds (which is more likely to occur on a 101 endroll, but still may happen on a 200 endroll).

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

Mana Cost

The mana cost for this spell is calculated by a seed 1 summation of the target's level. That is, a level 1 target costs 1 mana whereas a level 105 target costs 14 mana.

Target level	1	3	6	10	15	21	28	36	45	55	66	78	91	105	120
Mana cost	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15

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.
