Dark Binding

A dark binding ceremony is an evil ritual performed by a dark priestess which binds two people as husband and wife.. The two being wed may not have to join them of their own free will, they may be forced into the wedding, unlike it's counterpart, a handfasting. The dark binding ceremony takes a considerable amount of time to complete, but the amount of power bestowed is so great, it once tapped the power of the Charmed Ones when a priestess named Dantalian forcibly wed Prue to a warlock. A few verses mentioned by the Dark Priestess during a binding ceremony are:
 * In the Beginning you were damned
 * And through damnation you found freedom, power, and purpose
 * As I unite you today
 * I remind you of those gifts
 * And in your union
 * May these gifts increase
 * So your powers may grow
 * In the Service of Evil
 * So be it.
