Word of Exile

Spell, High Magic, level 7

Banishes one creature whose given name the caster knows to any place or plane (not instantly lethal ones).

From the book

The caster banishes one person or creature within 100 ft. to any place or plane of existence, but must know the victim's given name for it to work. The victim gets a save vs Will unless it is lower in level, or has fewer hit points, than the caster, or the caster knows its true name. Nobody can be exiled to a place whose very nature would kill them instantly.

A scene

The Jotun raider had terrorized the Aesir of Gava for a winter, and the wizard Signe had learned his name from a captured thrall: Grimnar, son of Hild. She found him at the river ford, roaring, a great blue-skinned giant with an axe like a millwheel. She pointed at him and spoke his name and the word of exile together. He fought the spell with all his giant's will and lost. He vanished, axe and all, and reappeared somewhere in the far north, among the endless ice of the polar wastes, where he would be perfectly at home.
