Applications[]

Associations[]

​Limitations[]

  • Petrification Immunity
  • May be constantly active.
  • May require direct eye-contact.
    • May not work on the blind.
    • Individuals with defectual eyelessness, or on the other hand, those that have Eyeless Perception are impervious. Due to the user of Petrifying Gaze having to require their vision to petrify them, the eye roots that happen to transfer visual information into the brain to simulate eyesight, are not there, meaning this will make the power useless against them.
  • May not be immune to their own power, making looking into reflecting surface fatal.
  • Effects may be temporary or irreversible.
  • Petrification Cancellation and Absolute Restoration can undo the petrification.
  • May be redirected/canceled through reflections.
