Mind bLast does have a MR save, which is obvious when you watch a replay. Troops often survive a single attack while taking no damage and gaining no paralysis.

Mind bLast has a penetration of 11 or 12, so to get past a MR of 26 takes a lucky roll on the part of one illithid and an unlucky roll on the part of the Lich.
