Earth Control visual effects option: Turn to Stone

[Jitsuko]

I would love, an option to turn the enemy into stone, instead of summoning chunks of earth. Would give my Medusa themed character with Earth Control/Poison, the thematic punch it needs 🙂

I'm not sure it can be done, but I really don't know. That said? It would be phenomenally great for my cockatrice character.

 

(Edit: For clarification, the reason why I question if it can be done is because current effects don't alter the character itself, it simply applies a visual effect to the character. For petrification, the character itself would need to be modified to replace everything with a stone texture. And then when the power wore off, revert the character design to its original state.)

I'd love it too, but like Rudra I'm not sure it's easily done.

For an alternate animation, what about something similar to the Dark/ hold, where the target seems to just be petrified, with their hands up and held in some shadow mist. Except instead of the shadows around the character, it can be some brown/dark dust and dirt. Just a thought since that animation/code is already there.

There's a shadowy aura in the prismatic aether tier 3 effects that gives you glowing eyes and darkens your overall look but still keeps your costume details. If the target can be given a paralyzed pose and apply a temporary effect like this (minus the glowing eyes and maybe make it more grainy and gray instead of dark, that might accomplish the temporary turn to stone effect.

I could see that working with the rocky crumble aura in place of the usual dark particle effects.
