Paralysis is overpowered.

I don't see this limitation as a drawback : Paralyze paralyzes. It's not a Repell.

Now, why couldn't we have also a Repell spell ? Something like a Ritual of Returning, but that you could cast on the ennemy troops ? The spell could come in 2-3 flavours : targeting a single unit, targeting a small area (1), targeting a large area (2+), and could be more easily negated by MR when the area grows wide. The repelled units could be thrown back to the capitol, or a random friendly fort, or their home garrison.
Could be fun. Just ideas on the fly...
