Description

You create a magical restraint to hold a creature that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be bound by the spell; if it succeeds, it is immune to this spell if you cast it again. While affected by this spell, the creature doesn't need to breathe, eat, or drink, and it doesn't age. Divination spells can't locate or perceive the target. You choose from the following forms of prison: Burial (entombed deep in the earth in a sphere of magical force), Chaining (bound by heavy chains, rooted to a spot), Hedged Prison (trapped in a confined space surrounded by a barrier), Minimus Containment (shrunk and trapped inside a gemstone), or Slumber (falling into an unending sleep). A Dispel Magic cast as a level 9 spell can end the spell.
