Protection from petrification, 10' radius

Protection from petrification, 10' radius was a very rare abjuration spell that created a circle of protection, making those within it immune to stone to flesh effects.

Effects
When the caster touched a creature, they would create a protective circle around the target. All within 10 ft (3.0 m) would become immune to any forms of petrification. However, if any within the range reflected the spell, it would not affect the original spellcaster, as the spell is rendered inert.

If a creature has already been turned to stone, it does not free them from their stone form.

Components
As well as verbal and somatic components, the material component consisted of a pinch of powdered gorgon scales. The powder had to been sprinkled in a circle around the caster.

Variants
Before the Time of Troubles, the Red Wizards of Thay were believed to have a similar, but not identical version of this spell.

A simpler variant of this spell was found in a handful of places around the Sword Coast. This version of the spell only protected a single creature.
