The Shackling Spell
Invented in the early 20th Century by American Auror, Ness Billystick, this spell will conjure a pair of shackles or handcuffs to restrain your target. Ever since it’s creation it has been widely used by American Aurors as a means of capturing criminals. However, as the criminal world of Magic often does, dark Wixes have adapted. One report recalls Hugo Suge, a marvelous transfigurer who went down a troubled path that wandlessly transformed the links of his shackles into serpents, or Lylah Eigengrau, a witch infamous for robbing Muggle homes. It was unbeknownst to Aurors how she seemed to flawlessly enter and exit homes until she was captured with the Shackling Spell, and through the use of her unregistered abilities as a Amorphomagus, liquified her body to break free of her constraints. Nevertheless, aside from a talented or creative Dark Wix here and there the Shackling Spell is still widely useful to American Aurors today and just as effective at capturing those less clever.
