This article covers the Pathfinder Second Edition ritual. For the Pathfinder First Edition family of spells, see planar binding (spell).

The binding circle ritual, also known as planar binding, calls an unwilling outsider from its planar home in the Great Beyond to the Universe via conjuration magic. The spellcaster can then attempt to trap it in a previously prepared magic circle and convince or force it to perform a task for them in return for its freedom.
