Description
If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the creature and the two of them can see each other, the creature can force the creature to make a DC ## Constitution saving throw if the creature isn't incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature magically begins to turn to stone and is restrained. It must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is petrified until freed by greater restoration or other magic. A creature that isn't surprised can avert their eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can't see the creature until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If it looks at the creature in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. If the creature sees its reflection within 30 feet of it in bright light, it mistakes itself for a rival and targets itself with its gaze.
