   single: paralyzed; immunity from freedom of movement spell
   single: restrained; immunity from freedom of movement spell
   single: grappled; immunity from freedom of movement spell

You touch a willing creature. For the duration, the target's movement is
unaffected by difficult terrain, and spells and other magical effects
can neither reduce the target's speed nor cause the target to be
:ref:`paralyzed` or :ref:`restrained`.

The target can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape
from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it
:ref:`grappled`. Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on the target's
movement or attacks.
