Mourning Stone (Wizard Spell)

This spell channels a person's grief over loss of a loved one into stone. When cast upon a subject and an amount of stone, the spell pulls the grief from the subject's heart and forces the stone to grieve instead. The subject gets a saving throw vs. magic to avoid the effects if he wants to retain his grief. When affected by the spell, the subject feels the weight of sorrow unburdened from his heart. The stone shows its grief by becoming pristine white and refracting light like a prism, never appearing exactly the same twice. Persons viewing the stone are awestruck and saddened for one round though not stopped from acting. Within 10' of mourning stone, emotion, and other such spells and effects are cancelled. Stone enchanted by this spell can be used to erect buildings, in the manner of beautiful and enigmatic mausolea like the Taj Mahal.
