Ray of paralysis

Ray of paralysis was a necromancy spell that materialized a narrow beam of energy that caused paralysis within a single target creature or person.

Effects
The ray emanated from the caster, appearing as a green beam of light the width of an arrow shaft that shot forth in a straight path towards the spell's target. If the target dodged the ray of paralysis, it could possibly strike another object or being. Any creature struck by the ray lost control of their body for a matter of seconds to over a minute.

Casting
The casting of this spell required verbal and somatic components.

History
This spell was known to be used by wizards of the Cult of the Dragon.
