A giant hand appears and attacks the target once each round for the duration of the spell. Each hit causes 2d6+12 points of physical damage unless the target succeeds an opposed Strength check. The hand is treated as if it has a strength of 51 (+20 to Strength checks). Furthermore, the target is held that round if it fails a Fortitude save. Creatures that are immune to paralysis will be held by this spell (i.e., not be able to walk or run) but will be able to act (cast spells, drink potions, etc.). They will still take damage if they do not succeed on their opposed strength checks.
