Paralysis

Paralysis is a Mind power used by Abonie Wisteria.

Overview
Paralysis allows the user to cause the muscles of a victim to instantly seize so long as direct and unhindered eye contact and focus is maintained. Breath powers are rendered useless but disruptive or otherwise offensive Mind powers, such as Diversion or Sway can still be used to aid in escape.

Paralysis remains for several minutes even after eye contact or focus is broken.

Appliances
Paralysis can be used to freeze and lock an opponent in place to either stop a physical attack, or to stall for a few precious moments for the user to escape. For humans, or dragons without a suitably disruptive Mind power, can die from loss of breath if Paralysis is maintained for too long, or at the very least suffer major damage from a lack of oxygen.

Due to the specific criteria needed to bring it into play, Paralysis is not suitable for competitve racing or even  regular combat.
