Myrandil's Vicious Seizure (abbreviated as MVS) is an offensive wizard spell which causes the hands of the dead to erupt from the ground and grab the ankles of passersby, stopping them from leaving the room.

It should be noted that once someone has been grasped by hands, a check will be made each time the affected person tries to move out of the room. This consumes the GP of whoever is trying to escape, but this does mean several multiple checks can be forced by the same target in a short time period.

 

This spells has been changed on October 17 2011. It is thought that fighting.defence.dodging is now the skill used to avoid the hands and escape them, which is checked against the caster's magic.spells.offensive bonus.
