Spell of Constraint
Spell, High Magic, level 1
Binds a summoned being to one specific service, or frees another caster's summoned creature and sends it home.
From the book
The caster binds a summoned creature or being to carry out one particular service. Creatures of lower level or fewer hit points than the caster are always bound, while stronger ones get a save vs Will. The spell can also be turned on a creature summoned by someone else, but only to release it from its bond, not to set it against its summoner; a creature freed this way goes straight back to its home plane. Range is 100 ft.

A scene
A rival had evoked a jinn to wreck the wizard Samira's tower above Kuru, and it was halfway through the roof when she came running up the stairs. She did not try to fight it. She pointed at the thing, a towering figure of smoke and flame, and spoke the words of constraint. It fought her; she felt it strain against the spell like a bull against a rope. Then something snapped. The jinn let out a great sigh of relief, bowed to her with genuine gratitude, and vanished back to wherever it had come from.
