Bigby's Strangling Grip

Evocation 

This spell creates a pair of disembodied hands that will seek out a creature’s throat and strangle the creature with the same effect as an attack with a garrote (see S&S pp. 86-87). The pair of hands attack once per round, with a base attack bonus equal to your caster level (maximum of 20th level), +7 for Strength modifier (Strength 25), and a +2 size bonus. The hands may only make strangling attacks, but do not provoke attacks of opportunity for doing so. To begin the garrote attack, the hands make a melee touch attack against any target designated by you whose head and throat are within the range of this spell. See the garrote rules in S&S for special modifiers to the target’s touch AC. If you miss with the melee touch attack, the hands may try again next round. Once the hands have a hold of the target’s throat, they use their next attack to make a grapple check. The hands count as Tiny size for this check (receiving a –8 size modifier). The hands deal 1d8 +10 (one and one-half times Strength modifier) if the grapple check is successful. The hands are automatically considered to move into the target’s space, and the target is now considered grappled. Each round the hands use their one attack to continue making grapple checks to deal damage. The victim may escape the grapple as per the rules in the Player’s Handbook, or the hands can be attacked directly. The hands react to spells and physical attacks in the same manner as the hand created by Bigby’s interposing hand, except these hands have an AC of 21 (+2 size, +9 natural) with hit points equal to your own fully healthy total. The hands can benefit from and provide a flanking bonus when assisted by another attacker (if they are not already grappling their target).
