Animate rope

Animate rope was a transmutation spell that made a rope move at the caster's command.

Effects
The spell could cause a selected rope-like object—such as a cable, cord, line, string, yarn, or even a rope—of a certain length and thickness, to move about at the caster's command. The rope could be ordered to coil, uncoil, loop, tie a knot, and untie. It could also be made to entangle or trip a nearby foe.
