Paralyze (Morrowind)

Paralyze is a magic 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.
If stricken by paralysis during hand-to-hand combat, an opponent becomes prone to health damage rather than losing Fatigue when attacked for the effect's duration.
==Resistance and immunity==
Paralyze is not affected by Resist Magicka. It is subject to the Resist Paralysis effect, and can also be resisted with sufficient Willpower. Paralyze is not affected by Weakness to Magicka, and there is no weakness to paralysis effect, making it impossible to break an adversary's immunity.
Vampires have an innate immunity to paralysis. Karrod, the Champion of King Helseth who may be dueled in , and Gaea Artoria of the Imperial Legion in are also immune to paralysis. A number of creatures added in expansion packs also have an innate resistance or immunity to the Paralyze effect:

==Cure==
This effect can be cured by consuming a Potion of Cure Paralyzation or eating Corkbulb Root, the only ingredient that has Cure Paralyzation as a first effect. Free Action is available from a handful of spell merchants and consists of a Cure Paralyzation effect on self, but like all spells, cannot be cast while paralyzed.
