This is probably the most important single spell for a sorcerer. It is the way for the sorcerer to manipulate things with magic, opening vortex's, pathways between planes that are able to transport energy, or even live beings through them. The sorcerer is able to ensnare spirits from the realm of magic through the vortex, as well as to do many other things with it. It may even be used as an offensive spell, if casted at target it opens a very small vortex between the caster and the target and drains some lifeforce through it. You need several different skills to be able to use the spell in different ways. This spell is related to elemental Fire. Usage:

cast energy vortex at <target>
cast energy vortex at benevolent spirit
cast energy vortex at neutral spirit
cast energy vortex at malevolent spirit
cast energy vortex at regenerative vortex
cast energy vortex at reversed vortex
cast energy vortex at translocate object <object> to <player>
cast energy vortex at recognize energy patterns

If you try to cast the spell to ensnare spirits it first checks if you already have a spirit on this plane which has freed itself from your links and summons it to your location. If the spirit is aggressive to you, it has your energy trace and the sphere of protection doesn't help. Otherwise the sphere hides your trace from ensnared, aggressive spirits.
