The Spellbound (金縛り, Kanashibari) effect is a status effect seen in several games of the Suikoden series.
Information
This is a state in which the body becomes stiff and unable to move. Unlike Stun, in which the person faints and loses consciousness, a Spellbound individual is clearly awake and aware.
The fear of being helplessly attacked by the enemy while being aware all the while can only be understood by those who have experienced this effect.
