[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7018658, member: 6802604"] Ignoring the exceptions that would be difficult to account for without the use of magic, such as Druids or Sorcerers with the Subtle Spell metamagic, there's a wide array of things that I could see guards having on had that would do quite well. For dealing with verbal components you've got ball/bit/and classic cloth gags. If you want to be extra mean a Mutes Bridle wouldn't be out of the question. For general restraint I don't recall if anyone has mentions a simple straitjacket yet, these can restrain the hands just fine. There's various types of mitten-style hand restraints that can keep the hand fixed in a variety of positions from closed-fist, flat open-palm and even separate the individual fingers. You can see many of these used in modern medical care where the potential for a patient to cause self-harm is a concern. Other fun, aka awful, full body restraints may be a Skeffingtons Gyves or maybe an enclosed Drunkards Cloak. Obscuring vision is pretty straight forward. Bag over head. Maybe just a blindfold if for some reason they feel bad about covering a person's entire head. Of course if they use half the stuff I've mentioned being nice isn't a priority. No matter what, feel free to let your imagination run wild. History has taught us that there's no lack of odd and otherwise unbelievable means to restrain or torture people, so even if you just made something up its probably already been invented out here in the real world. People are awful. Oh, and one last thing... if you don't want the poor spell caster to get any sleep, throw in a simple bell collar. Sometimes it's the simplest things that are the most terrible.
