It affects the closest joint. Like say if you hit the calf of the leg, it will either immobilize the leg or the ankle depending on how high or low it hits. I would say....5 inches of effect from contact point. It isn't capable of stopping internal organs either. The effect doesn't stack either. She would only use this ability if she felt it was necessary. Also, 20 seconds is the average time. Opponents can try to resist and wear down the effect time to say 10 or 15. Also, becomes less effective if used over and over again.
