Ever?All having magic shackles will do is allow them to occasionally take an arcane spellcaster prisoner, rather than having to kill them.As for 4e lacking verbal and somatic components: It doesn't list what takes what type of action, but, to me at least, it seems probable that almost every non-psionic power, and the vast majority of psionic powers, take SOMETHING other than just thinking about it. Maybe it's chanting a quick spell, maybe a few quick motions to manipulate the magic, but not just "I think, therefore you're dead".I know I generally describe my spellcasters as making motions in order to achieve their spell effects.</blockquote>
