With piercing force its doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?

This one is kinda tricky (really think about it and don't be tempted to google.)
There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

Yes, Joseph, good job. I thought it was funny.
The dirt around the wife was overturned, so he could tell which one was moved recently.
Okay, not the best, but it makes sense...I think.

I was on the page which you posted this on before I answered. I didn't go ahead to read the other answers cause I couldn't wait.
Vote?
Or ask all the other prisoners to raise their hands when they are allowed to congregate?

You said the woman begged the wizard; by this I'll assume the rose bushes can speak.
When the return-home-woman saw her husband, she called out to him and he identified her.

gud point but i think the woman said to the wizard before she got turned into a rose. and at night she turned her back into a woman to see her family.
that would make it too obvious though if that was the answer
