Freedom releases creatures affected by Maze and Imprisonment spells.
Description
| “ | Freedom NOTE: Cast this spell in an area where you know someone is imprisoned and they will be released. This is the reverse of the spell Imprisonment. When a creature is imprisoned, he is trapped in a sphere far beneath the surface of the earth. If this spell is cast in the area where he was imprisoned, it will instantly free him and he will reappear exactly where he was standing when he was imprisoned. This spell will also cancel the effects of the spell Maze and return any characters trapped in the labyrinth of planes. |

Gameplay
The caster applies this spell to themself only.
When the spell casting is finished, an audio file plays, and the current map upon which the caster is present will be affected by the spell.
Any creature(s) who have been previously affected by the Imprisonment condition, or under a Maze type spell are released at the very spot where they entered that state.
There is no distance restriction to this spell, only an area map restriction. The game keeps track of creatures imprisoned or mazed, and where they were imprisoned.
Note that a party member that was previously imprisoned and brought back with this spell is no longer in the party at this time and must be recruited again.
Further, a party member that was also under the effects of some kind of disease, poisoning or other effect with a duration will be resumed, as imprisonment only suspends those effects, it doesn't remove, cure or cancel them.

Trivia
The Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition ruleset Wizard Spell Imprisonment is a reversible spell, and that is known as Freedom. The Pen and Paper game doesn't list Freedom as its own standalone spell, it is always connected to knowing Imprisonment, and has nothing to do with freeing a creature affected by the Maze spell.
