Such spells can also be cast even if the caster's hands are bound or he is grappling (although [[Caster Check]]s still apply normally).

Wizards who select a bonded object begin play with one at no cost. Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, book, orb, ring, rod, staff, wand, or weapon. These objects are always masterwork quality.

If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a [[Caster Check]] to [[Concentration|Concentrate]] or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spell's level. If the object is a ring or amulet, it occupies the ring or neck slot accordingly. | ||
A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared.

This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities. The bonded object cannot be used to cast spells from the wizard's opposition schools (see arcane school below). | A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared.
