Paralyze is a magical effect that renders a target unable to move or perform most actions. This includes, but is not limited to: walking, running, jumping, swimming, evading attacks, blocking with a shield, and the use of weapons, spells, scrolls, and enchanted items. Ingredients and potions can be consumed while paralyzed, and items may be equipped. This effect does not have a magnitude; if successfully cast or inflicted by other means it is always one-hundred percent effective. Paralyze is a member of the Illusion school of magic, governed by Personality. Its base Magicka cost is 40 points.
