Official rulings

5 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

The creature can only be untapped using Paralyze once per turn.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

Paying the cost is optional.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

Two Paralyzes are not cumulative. Paying either one will untap the creature.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

Paralyze can be cast targeting a creature which is already tapped.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

This is a change from the most recent wording. As was the case in the past, Paralyze itself has the last triggered ability, rather than granting that ability to the enchanted creature.
