Gleipnir

The Gleipnir (glayp-neer) is a special magical rope/ribbon that people craft in order to tie up/bind something.

Description
A gleipnir takes the appearance of a rainbow-colored, tulle/silken ribbon.

Effects
Despite it’s rather fragile appearance, the gleipnir is one of the strongest substances known. Because it is made of seemingly impossible things, the more the subject struggles, the longer, stronger, and more tangled the rope becomes.

Process
