=== Mundane Bindings ===
Some mundane actions can be considered a type of binding.
* Binding something or someone in physical restraints, chains, ropes etc is a type of binding.

She was halfway back before she paused.  “I’ve bound an Other in rope and tongue.  Mundane, physical bonds, and less mundane, physical bonds.  I’ve had a summoning I controlled nail an Other’s feet to the floor.  That is in fact another sort of binding.  Limiting their movements.” [..] I’ve bound humans in many of these same ways.  To their word.  In chains.  So, let me ask you… what ''is'' binding?  What is it to be bound?  Are you bound if I invite you to my office here in the school, other people arrive, and you can’t find a polite moment to leave?  What if you find yourself staying five, fifteen, or thirty minutes longer than expected?  Is it me and my status that binds you?  Social pressure?  Convention?  Is it yourself?” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/27 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.1]]</ref> [[Goblin]]s are especially vulnerable to being bound with physical restraints, since they often lack the patience to work their way free.<ref name=":10" />
