"Chain" and a long whip... Uvogin watched the whip lash toward him, his eyes narrowing. "You think the same move will work on me twice? You really underestimate me!"
He ducked low to evade the whip's entangling coils, making sure it couldn't trigger an ability like the "forced Zetsu" of the Restraining Middle Finger Chain. Most Conjuration users had similarly strange abilities.
