Flesh to stone

Flesh to stone was a spell that caused the target, to be turned into a mindless, inert, stone statue. The reverse form, stone to flesh, could restore a body thus afflicted back to life, though there was a chance that it might not survive the shock of this transition. If applied to ordinary stone, the spell created the corresponding amount of dead flesh. This spell, or its reverse form, could be stored in rods, so that the spell could be cast without components.

Effect
The target and all that it wore would be turned to stone and if the statue was damaged and the spell removed the target came out just as damaged. Flesh to stone had a range of at least 100 ft (30 m).

Components
This spell needed vocal and somatic components, lime and water and earth. Stone to flesh required very small amounts of earth and blood.

History
The reverse form of this spell, stone to flesh, was attributed to Netherese arcanist Mavin in and was originally known as Mavin's stone-flesh transmution.
