This spell generates a missile, appearing to be a magic missile, out of the caster's finger tip, which always hits the target. However, instead of injuring the target the missile causes a paralysis like effect for one round per level of the caster. If the target succeeds in a will saving throw he is unaffected. The target may save each round and the spell breaks whenever the paralysis is resisted.

Originally a miscast magic missile spell by the apprentice Gemidan of Blackstaff tower, Archmage Khelben Arunsun of Waterdeep found it a useful discovery. The spell is common in Waterdeep and an officially prescribed part of the Watch Mages' spell arsenal; Otherwise uncommon or rare depending on ties with Waterdeep.
