An enchantment which turns an organic (elemental) object (eg. a person), touched by the caster to stone (petrification). A victim tests Will x 3 to avoid the effect. While the victim is enchanted (petrified) his body and mental functions will slow to a negligible rate, but he is otherwise unharmed. If/when the enchantment is dispelled the victim is in the same psycho-physical condition as he was when enchanted. The enchanted victim is not immune tophysical harm. A hammer and a chisel has the same effect on him as on ordinary stone. Such damage is translated into ordinary injuries at GM discretion when the enchantment expires or is removed. Significant damage to the altered form is often fatal.
