Paralyze

There is a particular horror in being fully conscious but unable to move — watching the danger approach and finding that your body simply will not respond. Paralyze does not cause pain. It does not cloud the mind. It merely severs the connection between intention and action for a merciful moment, leaving the target standing upright and utterly helpless. A Paladin who has mastered it knows that the most humane way to end a fight is sometimes to pause it entirely.
