The Taurus Binding is a powerful magical ritual that is used to enslave entities of varying levels of strength and bind them to the caster's will. A ritual circle is constructed around the being in question - most often humanoid, but animals or monsters with intelligence are also possible. A piece of the caster's blood or flesh is used as a casting component, along with a dragon scale, demonic ichor, and a rope made from sphinx hair. When successfully cast, the Taurus Binding places several permanent enchantments upon the recipient:
1. Great love - the new minion or slave is implanted with a love for the caster, and a desire to see their wishes come true.
2. Memory Loss/Unknown Identity - Any pertinent information that counteracts the caster's desires is wiped from the minion's mind. The caster can affect this to some degree by planting fake memories in their stead,or encouraging their minion to remember past people and events differently.
3. Enhanced Strength - Most wizards cruel enough to make use of the Binding need their minions to endure beyond that of their species. Benefits are included depending on what ingredients are used in the ritual beyond those listed above. Subjugated minions have been known to not need sleep, have increased logical reasoning, and stamina to run for days, among other things.
