A
statue spell turns the subject to solid stone, along with any garments and equipment worn or carried. In statue form, the subject gains hardness 8. The subject retains its own
hit points.
The subject can see, hear, and smell normally, but it does not need to eat or breathe. Feeling is limited to those sensations that can affect the granite-hard substance of the individual's body. Chipping is equal to a mere scratch, but breaking off one of the statue's arms constitutes serious
damage.
The subject of a
statue spell can return to its normal state, act, and then return instantly to the statue state (a
free action) if it so desires, as long as the
spell duration is in effect.
