Binding spell, Hedged Prison version: "The subject is transported to or otherwise brought within a confined area from which it cannot wander by any means. This effect is permanent. Reduce the save DC by 3. Casting this version requires a tiny golden cage worth 100 gp that is consumed when the spell is cast."
What exactly does "transported to or otherwise brought" mean? That the subject is teleported to a pre-determined location, that it is dragged to a point within the spell range chosen by the caster, that it remains where it is currently (and thus that it must have been brought there by other means) or what else?
And what if the Binding is temporarily interrupted by an anti-magic field? Will the subject be dragged back to the original spot (and what if there are solid barriers in between?) or will it be locked where it is when Binding becomes active again?
Also, what should the confined area be? The same as the spell range centered on the target? The plane or planet it is currently in? An undefined-limit place such as a forest, a political region or a sea? A physical structure such as a tower, a dungeon or a house?
No idea?

"Transported or otherwise brought" means precisely that. You as the spellcaster put the target into the hedged prison, which may be the location in which you've summoned the creature, or the place you bring it to after you knock it out, or whatever. How you get the creature to be bound in the hedged prison doesn't matter; once the creature's where you want it to be, you cast binding on it and it's bound.
The confined area should be just that—confined. A maze, a room, a small house, a pit, a number of connected rooms, a haunted mansion, whatever. The phrasing here is vague on purpose, but keep in mind that anything without walls and doors and the like isn't confined.
Alright, now it's clear, thanks.
