For the reason why optical activity of mesomer is counteracted classical answer was not convincing. By use of the helix theory and stable staggered conformation answer can be obtained.
Piezoresistivity of ECAC may involve proximity effect, microcrack and the staggered arrangements of conductive pass-ways due to shear strength of aggregates.
The Immobilize spell, for instance, freezes enemies for a short time, allowing you to get in some quick hits and potentially stagger them to allow for even more free damage.
