This spell functions as ''[[Holt's Forceful Hand (3.5e Spell)|Holt's forceful hand]]'', except the hand now has a Strength score of 30 and deals 4d6+15 points of damage on a successful attack. In addition, the hand may now initiate a grapple as a free action whenever it successfully hits with its attack. When grappling, the hand automatically expands to a size appropriate for the creature it is grappling, negating all size bonuses to grapple checks. The hand may even grapple immaterial or incorporeal creatures, who use their Charisma modifier instead of their Strength modifier to determine their grapple bonus. 

Once it has established the grapple, the hand squeezes on its target, treating it as if pinned and automatically dealing its normal melee attack damage for every round it maintains the hold. Once it has grappled an opponent, the hand can also move at a rate of 30 feet per round while still maintaining its grip. Commanding the hand to move is a swift action.

''Focus:'' A leather glove.
