Freedom of movement is a 4th-level spell in tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons. A spellcaster uses a leather strap or similar material during the one-hour duration of the spell to free themself from any form of bondage or restraint, move unhindered regardless of terrain, and swim through water without issue. Freedom of movement is a useful spell for characters who might face imprisonment or need to traverse challenging environments. It also allows a friendly spellcaster to resist the effects of an enemy's hold spell or similar magic. Overall, freedom of movement is a valuable tool for making a character more versatile and adaptable in a range of situations.
