Another creature can assist your casting, with their own support spell. For each support spell, add that Spell’s Level to the DC of the Will save. When casting this spell, you can set a trigger that releases the bound target. You can also extend the duration of the Bind spell by casting it again with an overlapping duration.
Bind cannot be dispelled through normal means. Bind can only be dispelled with a Disjunction spell, or a Globe of Invulnerability cast at 10th Level. Bind is on the Arcane Spell List.
