As the user exerts their mind and activates the **Ostrich Fan**, the air swirls with sudden ferocity. With a swift motion, the fan releases a whirlwind that tears through the chosen location, the winds howling like a tempest. Those caught in the 20-foot blast are instantly ensnared by miniature tornados that rise from the ground, circling their bodies and locking them in place. These swirling vortexes of air hold them fast, reducing their movement to nothing as the roaring winds coil tighter around their legs. Arms are free, and powers may still be used, but moving to a new location becomes impossible, as if the very wind itself has anchored them. Even intangible beings like ghosts find themselves trapped in the twisting funnels of air, unable to escape the storm. The effort to control such wild forces takes its toll, and the user feels the weight of the wind dragging on their focus and energy, slowing their every move as the tornados rage.
