Protection from Petrification, 10' Radius (Wizard Spell)

This spell creates a circle of protection that extends from and moves with the caster. All creatures within the circle are absolutely immune to any attack forms or spells that cause flesh to turn into stone. If a protected creature reflects the gaze attack back outside the circle, the monster is not affected by its own gaze; the spell renders the petrification power inert. Protection from petrification has no effect on creatures that have already been turned to stone.
The material component is a pinch of pow­dered gorgon scales, sprinkled in a circle about the caster.
Notes: Restricted to abjurers; very rare. The Red Wizards of Thay are believed to have had a slightly different version of this spell before the Time of Troubles. (Updated from Polyhedron Newszine.)
