The target freezes in place, standing helpless. The target creature must be of evil alignment and must be alive. Creatures with evil as a descriptor have the Difficulty Class for their saving throw raised by +1. The subject is aware of its surroundings and breathes normally but cannot take any physical actions, even speech. The subject can, however, execute purely mental actions.

A winged creature that is held cannot flap its wings and falls. A swimmer cannot Swim and may drown.
