By the use of this spell, the cleric can free the subject creature(s) from the effects of paralyzation or similar forces (such as a hold spell). By casting this spell and then pointing his or her finger in the proper direction, the cleric can remove paralysis from as many as 4 creatures that are within range and within the area of effect. There must be no physical or magical barrier between the caster and the creature(s) to be affected, or else the spell will fail and be wasted. Each target of the spell obtains a new saving throw versus paralyzation, at a +3 bonus if only one creature is involved, +2 if two creatures are to be affected, and +1 if three or four creatures are the target. The reverse of the spell, cause paralysis, can affect only one target, which must be touched by the cleric (successful roll “to hit”) using his or her holy/unholy symbol. If the victim fails a saving throw versus spell, paralyzation will set in for a duration of 1-6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the caster. Clerics of good alignment should be very discerning in their use of cause paralysis, and this spell might actually be prohibited to cler- ics belonging to certain good-aligned orders.
