Stone to Flesh (Priest Spell)

The stone to flesh spell turns any sort of stone into flesh. If the stone object was formerly living, this spell restores life (and goods), although the sur­vival of the creature is subject to the usual System Shock survival roll. Any formerly living creature, regardless of size, can be thus returned to flesh. Ordinary stone can be turned to flesh in a volume of 9 cubic feet per level of experience of the spell-caster. Such flesh is inert, lacking a vital life force, unless a life force or magical energy is available (for example, this spell would turn a stone golem into a flesh golem, but an ordinary statue would become a body). If cast upon stone, the wizard can create a cylinder of fleshy material from 1 to 3 feet in diameter and up to 10 feet long, allowing a pas­sage to be made.
The material components are a pinch of earth and a drop of blood.
The reverse, flesh to stone, turns flesh of any sort to stone. All possessions on the person of the creature likewise turn to stone. The intended sub­ject of the spell receives a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect. If a statue created by this spell is subjected to breakage or weathering, the being (if ever returned to his original, fleshy state) will have similar damage, deformities, etc. The DM may allow such damage to be repaired by various high-level priest spells, such as regenerate.
The material components of the spell are lime, water, and earth.
Notes: Very rare spell, possibly available to clerics and priests with major access to the sphere of Creation.
