Petrification

One of Myotismon's signature attacks drains the life from a foe and petrifies them.

Background

Petrification is the ability to turn someone or something into stone. The most famous and perhaps prototypical example of this power is in the myth of Perseus and Medusa, the latter of which would cause men to turn into stone simply by the unfortunate victims casting a glance at her. The power does not always work in this precise fashion, but the result is always the same.

Petrification is considered to be a sub-category of transmutation; it forcibly turns the target into a statue of stone or other inorganic material. Generally, petrification can be considered to be a very broken ability, as it ignores conventional durability.
