[14] Flesh - Stone / Flesh to Stone / Stone to Flesh

Flesh to Stone turns flesh to stone, Stone to Flesh turns stone to flesh, Flesh - Stone works either way

Word Spell

BTS: 76% (Co) vs flesh to stone effect only

Co check: Stone to Flesh requires a Co check to be made, or the target dies.  Even if it succeeds, the target still takes a permanent Co -1 (though this can be restored by the Restoration Spell).  The Co check is made against the target's Co before the -1 is taken.

ULT: 10 hours

Materials: for Flesh to Stone a piece of organic material (not part of Caster's own body) / for Stone to Flesh a piece of stone

Actions: none

Effect of Throw:

Max Sz affected (or equivalent volume of rock) = T/5    N.B. the Sz of Monsters and other Beings can be deduced by comparing their largest HitLoc Table with those for People.

St mod.: BTS +2n% -n2%    (Flesh to Stone only)

Co Check mod.:   -1c    -c2%      (Stone to Flesh only)

Range: 20d ft    -5d(d-1)/2 %

Notes:

  1. Affects a single target only.
  2. Can turn dead (or undead) flesh to stone.
  3. The Flesh that is Stoned includes all parts of the body (so Skeletons can be Stoned) and all clothes, armour, backpacks and possessions carried (it is an "aura" effect).  Stone to Flesh has the reverse effect.
  4. Stoning is a permanent effect (until Flesh to Stone is Cast to reverse it).  The target's soul is trapped inside the Stoned statue, and can think but perceive nothing.  It does not age.  If the statue is broken up, the soul remains trapped in the largest piece, but dies if that piece is reduced to dust, destroyed or consumed.  If a broken up Stoned Being is Stone to Fleshed, the result is the same as if the body had been cut up (pouring a Regeneration Potion over it first is advisable).
  5. Likewise, turning rock (e.g. a statue) into Flesh is a permanent effect (until Stone to Flesh is Cast to reverse it).  If the Stone to Flesh Spell is granted by a Good or Neutral God, it will turn rock into living flesh (but unless a soul was trapped in it, it will have no mind and is likely to die).  If the Stone to Flesh Spell is granted by an Evil God, it will turn rock into fresh dead flesh (unless a soul was trapped in it).  If the Stone to Flesh Spell is granted by SOROK, it will turn rock into zombie flesh (or into a ghoul with Stoning rather than Paralyse touch if a soul was trapped in it).
