Imprisoned players are stunned, suffer 80,000 Shadow damage and gain 5 Pride for every second. Players remain stunned until all titan locks surrounding the prison have been activated. Titan locks are activated by having a player stand within the lock's rune and remaining there until the prison is deactivated.
