 Paralysis is a ''very'' strong effect:
 *Preventing an enemy from attacking for a few turns is valuable on its own. When you're swarmed by enemies, taking one fewer attack per turn can make a big difference. In a hallway, you can paralyse a weak enemy to prevent anything from coming through. A few free attacks can give you the edge you need to win a fight.
-*Paralysed enemies are vulnerable to high-tier [[stab]]s. If your character is competent in melee, you're likely to kill ''any'' (individual) monster before the duration runs out. No [[Stealth]] required.
+*Paralysed enemies have 0 [[EV]] and are vulnerable to high-tier [[stab]]s. If your character is competent in melee, you're likely to kill just about ''any'' (individual) monster before the duration runs out. No [[Stealth]] required.
 Many dangerous creatures, even [[unique]]s, have low willpower. Examples include [[two-headed ogre]]s, [[hornet]]s, [[Nessos]], and [[Sonja]].

 ===Tips & Tricks===
 *A [[scroll of vulnerability]], preferably when no monster can hex you, allows for many more targets to be effectively neutralized. Big threats like [[Mara]] and [[Parghit]] can be stopped entirely by vulnerability -> paralysis. Of course, vulnerability reduces your own willpower, so mind the usual risks.

 Using a '''wand of paralysis''' will attempt to paralyze a single target, rendering it unable to act, reducing its [[EV]] to 0, and making it susceptible to [[stabbing]] attacks for a few turns. This effect has to overcome the target's [[willpower]] to succeed, but having a high [[Evocations]] skill will increase your odds of success.
