Bind

When this spell is employed, the magic-user causes any rope-like object of non-living material to behave as he or she orders. 

The subject can be string, yarn, cord, line, rope, or even a cable. About 50-ft of normal rope (1 inch diameter), plus 5-ft per level of the spell caster, can be affected. Reduce length proportionately when diameter increases, and increase length by 50% when diameter is halved. 

The commands possible to give under a bind spell are:

Coil (form a neat, coiled stack)

Coil & Knot

Loop

Loop & Knot

Tie & Knot

and the reverses of all of the above (Uncoil, etc.)

The rope or other rope-like object must be within about 1 foot of any object in order for it to respond properly, so it must usually be thrown or hurled nearby. 

Any creature affected by the rope-like object can, of course, interact with it as if it were a normal object. The creature's hold overrides the dweomer on the rope, and the rope takes 2 points of slashing damage before breaking. 

The rope cannot be used as a garrote, but can be used as a trip line or to entangle (as the druid spell) a single opponent. 

The dweomer does not cause the rope to have magical properties beyond its ability to obey commands (cf. rope of climbing, rope of entanglement).
