To Memorize: cast 'power word paralyze' : cast 105 Cost: 50 Casting Time: 120 Effect Duration: 19 minutes, about 10 rounds Only Wizards can learn power words. Power words are the most potent of all spells, transforming long periods of tedious memorization into a single, sublime burst of arcane majesty. They can only be learned by the most dedicated spellcasters, but they have truly devastating effects. No saves are allowed against power words of any kind, nor is there a way to resist them. PREPARING A power word must be memorized before you will be able to use it. This is done by casting the spell as normal. This can be a long and tedious process in many cases. When it reaches 100%, you will have memorized it. All power words you have memorized will show up in your statistics window. You can't have more than one of any given power word memorized simultaneously. i.e. You may have a 'KILL' and a 'BLIND' memorized, but not two of 'BLIND'. USING Power words may only be used in combat, and some have additional restrictions outlined under their individual descriptions. You use a memorized power word by typing, not saying, it. e.x.: > limited invulnerability NOT > 'limited invulnerability' Using aliases is recommended for the longer ones. Once you use the word in combat, your memory will be cleared of that word, and you will need to memorize it again.
