### Spell description

When Power Word Escape is cast, the caster says "Escape!" and they are instantly teleported without fail to a spot designated before the spell was cast. To designate a space, a caster must crush diamonds of up to 5000gp value(depending on the size of the room), and sprinkle them around the edges of the room. In Desmond's case, he is teleported to an intradimensional hideaway chock full of goodies like extrahealing potions, etc. No bonds can keep the user from escaping, power word escape is the ultimate way to keep any villain in the picture.
