The mage shuts down the nervous system of his or her target, rendering them completely immobile. Only creatures with discernible nervous systems can be affected by this spell (see Nature). Paralyzed spellcasters or creatures with Special Powers can only use them if they require no motion. Paralyzed creatures simply stop dead in their tracks. They don't fall to the ground (unless of course, they had wings and were flying). The size of the targeted creature depends on the Intensity.
