As an Enchantment
As an enchantment on weapons, Paralyze has a chance on hit to cause paralysis on the target. The duration of the effect is determined by the player's Enchanting skill. Items containing this enchantment may be randomly acquired in dungeons. Weapons with this enchantment may also be randomly acquired from blacksmiths.

Paralyze is an enchantment on a sword named Chillrend, which can be aquired during the Theives Guild quest line. It looks much like a Glass sword but has a blus tint to its color instead of green.

Bugs
On rare occasion, the spell may glitch. The enemy will still take damage, can die, and be looted, but the body will stay "alive" and paralyzed indefinitely.
