If you can get tank-like holding an enemy from a theme, then it sounds like you can get it from a feat. Using a feat to get a sticky/tank like ability seems cool to me.As to the magic thing, I know Mike and the team have talked about the challenges of balancing magic. At two of the seminars I think they used the example of a spell that mind controls an enemy, basically saying it takes the monster out of the fight and could have a lot of different uses from dealing more damage in the same fight to all sorts of utility outside the fight. From what I've heard, balancing numbers for them is easy, it's tackling spells like that and making sure that they end up with an option that's a cool spell, but doesn't trample over the other classes, the balance, or the power level they expect.</blockquote>
