    2,004,717,056 seconds is 63.569 years. Stephen Hawking died at 76. 76 minus 63.569 is 12.43.

    He was diagnosed when he was 21, so the spell duration should be 1,734,480,000 seconds.

      It doesn’t say “paralyze…” it says “chance to…” so maybe it is multiplying that chance to paralyze times the number of seconds to come up with your estimate of how long he was paralyzed. It is the expected number of seconds of paralysis time to compensate for the risk of it not triggering.

          it won’t take 7 years to trigger.

          Would be the most useless effect in the history of games if it did 😆

            One hit from a mace is enough to paralyze any human, depending on how hard and where you hit them. I don’t recommend you test that fact, but lawful self-defense with an opportune mace is legally defensible. I am not a lawyer and prior statement is not legal advice.

      So you’re saying that if he had lived longer, he would have regained full use of his body?

    Does skyrim have reflect magica? It’s been a hot minute, but that’d be really fun to have sent back to you lol.

        Console commands also let you apply some non-spell effects as enchantments. If you want to have a bit of fun cheating, you can put a max strength fus ro dah on a hammer and pretend to be Thor

    Paralyzing is super broken in Skyrim. It doesn’t actually matter how long the target is paralyzed, because paralyzing them at all causes them to fall, starting a lengthy stand-up animation, during which they’re vulnerable. Hit them, they fall. They start to get back up, so you hit them more. Eventually, they stay down.

    You could smack everybody in Skyrim once with this, save the game, and be Thane by Default since everyone will be Stephen Hawkinged for the rest of the time you’ll play it.
