This spell is available only to transmuters majoring in abjuration. It
causes the victim's body to stiffen and lock up. Paralysis may lock up
the victim's entire body, legs or arms.
If arms are paralysed the victim will be unable to cast spells properly and
fighting ability is greatly reduced.
If legs are paralysed the victim will be unable to move properly and
fighting is greatly reduced.
Total body paralysis is a combination of both leg and arm paralysis, but
does not last quite as long as the individual effects.
While the person affected may still perform actions, their body will often
lock up while under the spell, and their fighting ability is always
significantly reduced. Paralysis is effective in reducing fighting
abilities of both players and mobs.
