Explaination of Abilities
Protection from Charm: Confers immunity to Song of Charming, Song of the Siren, Song of Confusion, Yield Person, Feeblemind, Confusion, Lost, Sleep, and Mass Sleep.

Petrify	Type: Ball Spell	Range: Thrown
Incantation: "Petrify" x5
Effect: Person turned to stone. A hit or graze to a person or their equipment renders them immobile (and unable to cast magic, use abilities, etc.) until freed. A Heal spell frees the victim after a 300 count.
Note: May only be affected by Heal, Freedom, Shove (normal effect), and Sphere of Annihilation (which destroys petrify and victim).
Dispel: Yes	Materials: Padded gray spell ball
Limitation: Monks (6th level), Barbarians, and Paladins are immune. Protection from Petrification and Protection from Magic grant immunity to Petrify.
Special: As a Gorgon increases in level it is easier for the Gorgon to Petrify its enemies. Initially the Gorgon gains the ability to carry additional spell balls, and eventually the incantation for Petrify becomes a single word.
Stone to Flesh	Type: Spell	Range: 20'
Incantation: "I call upon the element of earth to free thee from its stony fist" x5
Effect: Target is freed from Petrify instantly upon completion of this spell.

Description:
Gorgons are hideous beasts made infamous by the evil Medusa. She appeared as a woman with a mass of writhing snakes on her head instead of hair, and her stare could turn the unwary into to solid stone.

There are rumors that the very detailed stone statues that have been found in old caves are actually living creatures that have been turned to stone by an evil wizard who controls a Gorgon. The validity of this rumor is as yet undetermined.
