-You may have as many as six assistants help you with the spell. For each assistant who casts [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:suggestion|]], your caster level for this casting of binding increases by 1. For each assistant who casts [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:dominate_animal|]], [[priority:magic:spells:tier5:dominate_person|]], or dominate mosnter, your caster level for this casting of binding increases by a number equal to a third of that assistant’s level, provided that the spell’s target is appropriate for a binding spell. Since the assistants’ spells are cast simply to improve your caster level for the purpose of the binding spell, saving throws and spell resistance against the assistants’ spells are irrelevant. Your caster level determines whether the target gets an initial Will saving throw and how long the binding lasts. All binding spells are dismissible.+You may have as many as six assistants help you with the spell.

 Regardless of the version of binding you cast, you can specify triggering conditions that end the spell and release the creature whenever they occur. These triggers can be as simple or elaborate as you desire, but the condition must be reasonable and have a likelihood of coming to pass. The conditions can be based on a creature’s name, identity, or alignment, but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities. Intangibles such as level, class, Hit Dice, or hit points don’t qualify. Once the spell is cast, its triggering conditions cannot be changed. Setting a release condition increases the save DC (assuming a saving throw is allowed) by 2. Regardless of the version of binding you cast, you can specify triggering conditions that end the spell and release the creature whenever they occur.

-If you cast any of the first three versions of binding (those with limited durations), you may cast additional binding spells to prolong the effect, overlapping the durations. If you do so, the target gets a saving throw at the end of the first spell’s duration, even if your caster level was high enough to disallow an initial saving throw. If the creature’s save succeeds, all binding spells it has received are broken.+If you cast any of the first three versions of binding (those with limited durations), you may cast additional binding spells to prolong the effect, overlapping the durations.
