HEALTH SPELL

Paralysis
This spell causes the neurons of the sympathetic nervous system to
cease to function (leaving the autonomic systems unaffected). In game
terms, this means that the target's heart rate and breathing are
unaffected (as are pupillary response, blinking, digestion, salivary
gland activity, and kidney and bladder function.) No motor action
(active muscle use) may be made, thus immobilizing the target.

If this is cast while the target is doing something, this will
likely cause problems. The target's muscles will relax, and he
will drop anything he is doing. If the target is doing something
like climbing a wall, or a ladder, he will likely fall.

This spell is resisted with Willpower. If the target gets more
successes than the caster, he successfully resists the spell. If he
fails to gain more successes, the spell takes full effect.

Type: Mana Range: Touch Target: 10 - Essence
Drain: [(F / 2) + 2]M Duration: Sustained
