Vandergast's Armoured Forcetrap
(Invocation/Evocation)

Range:  10 yards per level
Components:  V, S
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  6
Area of Effect:  One creature
Saving Throw:  Negates

This spell is identical to Vandergast's forcetrap in appearance and effect, with the following exceptions: a bend bars attempt is useless against this spell; instead, enough damage must be inflicted on the bands to destroy them. This damage may be caused by weapons (piercing and slashing weapons only do half damage, blunt weapons inflict full damage) or spells. Also, only one target may be trapped by this spell. Finally, a limited wish will not affect this spell, although a wish will destroy it, and a dispel magic has the normal chance of success against the bands.
The bands have AC 0 and 5 HP for every level of the wizard. When the bands' hit point total has been exceeded, the bands are destroyed, and the spell ends. Each attack that inflicts damage on the bands will also inflict half that damage total (rounded down) on the trapped victim unless a successful saving throw versus paralysation is made (in which case, no damage is suffered). For example, if the bands are struck for 11 points of damage, they suffer the full 11 points, while the trapped victim suffers 5 points of damage, unless his saving throw was successful.
