18. GoF: Dragon keepers used this magic to drive stakes into the ground to fasten the dragons to. GoF/OotP: The chair in the Court of Magical Law magically restrained the accused using ropes.

19. Cruciatus Curse--Crucio. Imperius Curse--Imperio. Killing Curse--Avada Kedavra.
20. The spell apparently cannot be performed using wandless magic (judging from Snape's remarks to Bellatrix rather than from the Weasley twins' underage efforts) and requires that the Bonder's wand be touching the joined hands of the person administering the vow and the person taking the vow. As each clause of the oath being sworn is agreed to, a thin tongue of brilliant red flame shoots from the caster's wand and winds itself around the joined hands of the participants, remaining in place as other clauses of the oath are sworn to.
