Description

You attempt to petrify a creature that you can see within range. If the target’s body is made of flesh, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails its saving throw by 5 or more, the creature is instantly petrified; otherwise, a creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone and is restrained.

A creature restrained by this spell must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves against this spell three times, the spell ends; if it fails its save, it is petrified.

The petrification lasts until the creature is freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.

If the creature is physically broken while petrified, it suffers from similar damage if it reverts to its original state.
