A spell created to stop the enemy from closing in for a melee battle. Casting it will shoot sticky spider webs on the floor. Every enemy who steps on it will be glued to the spot, allowing the caster's party to attack them with missile weapons without fearing the enemy closing in on them.

Of course enemies like Ghosts that are immaterial and flying enemies like Gazers won't be impressed in the slightest by this spell. Also, enemies with a missile weapon won't stop shooting.
