You unironically want to assume this. You have to treat every random panlord as though it can paralyze you for 7 turns in melee, haste itself, hurl damnation, glaciate, firestorm, tornado, shatter, chain lightning, lcs, torment, summon greater demons, etc (I don't know the full spell list offhand, it's a gigantic spoiler) until proven otherwise or else risk getting wrecked by the few panlords that actually do have those things. Unsurprisingly, this leads to gameplay that's kinda bad.
