Entangle is a combat spell which prevents monsters from moving for 24 seconds, or players for 12 seconds. If cast on a player using Protect from Magic or Deflect Magic, the bind duration will be halved.

It is possible to cast Entangle on a target that is already affected. However, this will not refresh the effect and does not grant experience, resulting in a total waste of runes.

A magic weapon is not required to cast this spell.
