Description

The subject freezes in place, standing helpless. He is aware and breathes normally but cannot take any physical actions, even speech. He can, however, execute purely mental actions (such as casting a spell with no components).

A winged creature who is held cannot flap its wings and falls. A swimmer can’t swim and may drown.
