I think paralyze is a bit overpowered. It takes 2 astral magic to cast, is only a 4th level spell, and it can basically take a top notch troop or a sc out of combat for 25 rounds?

And it is free to cast? What spell does nature get that is comparable? Vine arrow? At level 7 you get charm, but that is way further down the line and takes 3 nature to cast.

Acrosphale with about 15 of those level 3-4 astral mages all spamming paralyze, soul slay, and enslave mind, sitting in a castle can be a bit much. Though a few blade winds can end that spam in a hurry.
