Type	Wand
Name	Wand of paralysis
Icon

A magical device which can render a creature immobile.

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.

In general, this wand is best used to disable dangerous creatures with low willpower. Particularly noteworthy targets include boggarts, Nessos, and Sonja.
