Paralyze (Final Fantasy IV)

Paralyze is a status in Final Fantasy IV. The Paralyze status is timed. A high Spirit stat or a high Magic stat (monsters only) will reduce the duration of this status. Haste accelerates the recovery, while Slow delays it. When the timer ends, the target will be release from it. This status's timer can be reset, but only from the Mindflayer summon.
This status should not be confused with the Magnetize status that the Lodestone Cavern inflicts on characters that wears metallic equipment.
