Played a pure sorcerer up to 125ish. Loaded this spell for giggles to see how it would work. Similar to Exiquey (spelling) and other AoE spells in the sorceror arsenal (Miasma, etc). Not worth the spell slot. It seems to work best on very small, very weak enemies, but useless against any decent enemy. Even ones like regular ogres and cyclops that don't have 'boss' status. Doesn't work. Ever. If you manage to keep a bunch of little, weak enemies all inside your cloud of 'petrify' long enough, one or two of them might actually get hit with it. Stick to Comestion, or elemental spells that do direct damage. All the 'debilitation' spells are too hard to make stick. Maelstrom, Seism, etc. Those are your bread and butter.
