A player's skin begins to turn to stone after intercepting the Gift of Earth.

A petrified players movement speed is reduced by 2%, and Tectus will absorb their petrification whenever he makes a melee attack against them, granting him stacks of Accretion and healing him.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Petrification is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 2.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 99.1054.

What it does

Petrification is a Physical spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Physical damage (base value 99.1054). It stacks up to 10 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
