How to learn

Granted by items:

• Signed Trade Visa

Notes

• Can only be used once by consuming the Signed Trade Visa. Using it might bring unexpected (run-ending) consequences if certain characters can't die. This spell cannot be copied to a Wizard's spellbook. However, an equivalent spell,  Flesh to Stone, can be learned by level 11 Wizards and Warlocks.
• Does not consume a spell slot when used, only an  Action.
• The target must fail four Saving throws in total in order to turn to gold. Each turn the target fails a saving throw, it will progress to a new stage of the Flesh to Gold debuff, all of which are identical in effect to  Restrained:
  • Flesh to Gold: Stage 1: Affected entity cannot move as its body begins to turn to gold over the course of 3 turns.
  • Flesh to Gold: Stage 2: Affected entity cannot move as its body is turning to gold.
  • Flesh to Gold: Stage 3: Affected entity cannot move as its body enters the final stage of goldification.
• Despite the description stating the effect is 'temporary,' petrification from this spell is indeed permanent until the target is cured by Basilisk Oil or a spell such as Greater Restoration.
