Can someone explain this?

[Mazon]

I was killing off the Orcs for my Ghelsba key when I noticed something odd. The log message kept reading back. Orcish " " is paralyzed. Thing is. I hadn't thown out a Paralyze. I went about killing more Orcs, and again. Orcish " " is paralyzed. I can't explain it. I'm hoping someone knows what it could be. Here is all the info from that night.

None of this, to me, points to why the Orcs were being "paralyzed". I know I didn't cast it. No one around. What gives?

Did you have Ice Spikes up? That has an added paralyze effect.

[Mazon]

Re: Can someone explain this?

Yes. Yes I did. I didn't realize Ice Spikes had an added effect.
Thank you very much.

Any chance Blaze Spikes has an added effect?

Re: Can someone explain this?

Blaze Spikes doesn't have an added effect, but it will do more damage than Ice or Shock Spikes.

As mentioned earlier, Ice Spikes induce Parylysis.

But also, Shock Spikes induce Stun.

Does the effect or Paralysis/Stun remain for a time, if I remove Ice/Shock Spikes and put Blaze Spikes on.?

Sometimes it lasts sometimes it doesn't. You'll also probably cause paralyze with Ice Spikes far more often the Shock Spikes will ever cause stun.

My choice is:

Ice Spikes > Blaze Spikes > Shock Spikes
