Petrification

Description

This ability allows the individual to turn another living creature into stone. By focusing their gaze on a target, the individual can petrify that individual. At low levels, this only freezes the target in place, making them unable to move. At higher levels, this will actually turn the target to stone.

This ability requires a roll to activate. Successes determine if and how long the target is affected.

Success Levels:

Success: Duration of up to five minutes.
Good Success: Duration of fifteen minutes to an hour.
Great Success: Duration of an hour to a couple of hours.
Amazing Success: Duration of several hours.

Limits

The target has to be able to see the individual in order to be turned into stone. Levels two and three of this ability may only be used on PCs with their consent; otherwise, level one must be employed.

Levels
1	The target can be stunned in place and cannot physically move, but can still speak and perform actions that do not require physical movement.
2	The target is stunned in place and cannot physically move, speak, or perform any other actions but can still perceive what is going on around them.
3	The target is turned to stone and cannot move, speak, and is entirely unaware of what is going on around them.
