Magic Chain

A Magic Chain is a mystical shackle that has the power to captivate a person and forces them to obey their master (the one who captured them). The Chain can only be broken when the master dies or a Unicorn uses it's horn to make it disapear. The Magic Chain looks like a thin but strong silver - white thread.

In the film
It is first used by Ditchwater Sal, which bound the lost princess Una through a trap to her and made her her slave. As Dunstan met Una he tried to free Una through cutting at the chain, but the silver thread just flipped together again. Una is only freed when Ditchwater Sal is killed by Lamia.

After having given birth to Tristan and sending the baby to Dunstan, she laid a piece of the magic chain in the basket, in which Tristan was found by Dunstan. Eighteen Years later Dunstan told Tristan about his mother and gives him three things: a babylon candle, a letter and a piece of the magic chain. Tristan later used the magic chain to bind Yvaine to him and also prevent her from running away as binding her at a tree.
