Paralyze

The spell Paralyze seems to have a hefty bonus to spell penetration. It works far more often than most spells that afford a magic check.

The paralysis spell has a far, far longer duration than an Illithid mindbLast paralysis effect. It's also more effective, I suspect.
It does require astral magic, however, which opens up the field to Mind Duel.

Yes, but you can very easily get MORE bLastin'squiddies that paralyzing mages. I've been amazed at the effectiveness of squiddies, given some frontline cannon fodder to block the enemy ... but I digress..
