As an action, you may touch an unwilling humanoid and place ethereal shackles across their wrists. The target humanoid must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell DC, or have Alathar's shackles placed upon them. If the target fails, then they are unaware that the shackles are placed. If they succeed the saving throw, the spell ends and the target is aware of the spell that was attempted to be placed upon them.
While a humanoid has Alathar's shackles on them, they are unable to take their action to attack, dash, disengage, or dodge. Additionally, their walking speed is reduced to 5 feet and all other kinds of speed are reduced to 0.
As an additional bonus action, you may reveal the spell to the target before it ends, as the shackles around their wrists and ankles take form as indestructible links of iron chain.
