Blood Chains of Binding

This spell is one of the primary spell of the Blood Barons of Khorsek. Used to bind targets together with an attacker, dealing both necrotic damage to the target and psychic damage to anyone who is struck by other sources of damage.
Ghastly bloody chains erupt forth from the casters chest towards up to three targets, binding them together. As the chains pierce the target they are dealt necrotic arcane damage, while linking the minds of all bound individuals. When any bound individual takes damage from an outside source, all other bound individuals take psychic damage equivalent to one half of that other damage.

Effect

Ghastly bloody chains erupt forth from you towards up to three different targets. Make a ranged attack against each of them. On a hit they take 4d8 necrotic damage and become chained together with you and any other target hit for the duration.

Side/Secondary Effects

Chained creatures must succeed a strength save to move more than 20 feet away from you. On a success the chain breaks ending the spells effect on them. Whenever you or another chained creature takes damage  from an attack or spell, each other creature including you takes psychic damage equal to half the damage taken.
Psychic damage taken this way does not disrupt the casters concentration or require a check to maintain it.

Manifestation

Ghastly bloody, dripping chains burst from your chest with a barbed spear like head towards its targets. On a hit that spear like head pierces through the creature tethering you together.

Discovery

Long forgotten from the ancient arcane practitioners, it was discovered among other powerful spells and rituals by the first Blood Lorde of Khorsek Lucemesh in 143 FOS.

Gestures & Ritual

For the Blood Barons of Khorsek it is a matter of touching the rune on their body and using the word of power Sanguine. For those who cast it manually it is a matter of using the word of power Sanguine and using a series of hand getstures.
