@Stingerman,

No large monsters except for Garm can be Petrified according to the article.

But each enemy page has a comprehensive list of their debilitation weaknesses.

I'm a BIG TIME advocate of the strategic use of debilitations, but I found that Petrification just wasn't useful against enough enemies to make it worth equipping over another spell.

When I tested it on Bitterblack Isle, I found that my pawns were usually slaying our enemies before Petrification could ever take effect.

Its percentage of success seems to be VERY low, even against minor enemies.

You're better off with elemental damage spells. Even High Voidspell is more useful, LOL.

Torpor, Sleep and Silence are the most useful debilitations for me.

Petrification isn't even equipped to my Sorcerer Arisen or Sorcerer pawn for that reason unfortunately.
