Changes: Paralysis Explosion

Revision as of 11:31, 28 March 2015

Paralysis Explosion is a spell combination in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information

Conditions/Spells: Glyph of Paralysis + Glyph of Repulsion

All targets within 7.5m radius are instantly paralyzed for (20 * target rank duration modifier) seconds.
Friendly fire is possible.
Both glyphs are consumed in the process.

Notes

Glyphs must be overlapping for combination to occur (or, if a creature is affected by the Glyph of Paralysis, the Glyph of Repulsion has to touch the paralyzed creature).
No physical/mental resistance check is performed. A Spell resistance check is performed only when the order of casting is Paralysis and then Repulsion. Most boss-level creatures shrug off Glyphs of Paralysis, Glyphs of Repulsion, Paralysis or Mass Paralysis spells (due to high physical/mental resistances) but very few have any respectable magic resistance or use any anti-magic spells, so they will most likely be trapped by the Paralysis Explosion.
The effect duration is based on creature rank and game difficulty. For more information see Effects Duration Scaling.
Anti-Magic Ward or Glyph of Neutralization will not prevent paralysis.
Dispel Magic or Anti-Magic Burst will remove paralysis.

-|description= An instant, 7.5 m radius, long duration paralysis effect. Both the glyphs are consumed in the process. Friendly fire is possible. Since a Glyph of Paralysis is consumed by being touched, this spell combination is more reliable if the Glyph of Repulsion is cast first. Note that though the Glyph of Paralysis is consumed, it is still able to be a component while its effect is active - if the target resisted the effect, the glyph has to be cast again.
