This jolt causes randomised cellular shutdown, thus dealing protrical damage, and in large enough doses has the side-effect of relaxing the subject's nerves and muscles, resulting in secondary effects ranging from embarrasing bowel loosening up to paralysis or coma.Because protricity travels at a relatively ponderous speed, most magical protrical effects take the form of missiles or static effects rather than instantaneous lines. Protrical spells tend to counterspell electrical spells of the same level, so that for instance, the 3rd-level Parabellum's Protonic Projectiles can be used to counterspell lightning bolt.</blockquote>
