So the creature is no longer a creature, but is actually turned to stone. However, the final sentence then changes this "petrified" condition to "the creature is turned to stone until the effect is removed". The only reason for the spell to still be affecting you at the end of the 1 minute of concentration is for you to be under the petrified condition (since you must have failed at least 8 savings throws since 3 successes ends the spell). some DMs allow the players to come up with an alchemical solution derived from creatures like a Basilisk to allow lower level parties without access to Greater Restoration, a chance to cure the petrified condition. However, decision is ultimately up to the DM. I would tend to interpret this to mean that a creature petrified by the flesh to stone spell where concentration is maintained for the full duration would require Greater Restoration to remove the condition rather than Dispel Magic. The spell description fairly explicitly says that you need to remove the effect - which is the petrified condition - it doesn't explicitly state "dispelled" as in the case of True Polymorph. "If you maintain your concentration on this spell for the entire possible duration, the creature is turned to stone until the effect is removed." "If it fails its saves three times, it is turned to stone and subjected to the petrified condition for the duration." A similar spell "True Polymorph" has the wording "If you concentrate on this spell for the full duration, the spell lasts until it is dispelled". Dispel Magic would stop Flesh to Stone if cast during the concentration window. If you are talking about a spell that is active, then I completely agree. Remove Curse doesn't say that it removes petrification. Greater Restoration (5th level) works to remove petrification. Hitting the caster hard enough to make them fail their concentration roll would also break the spell -)Īfter the one minute I think that Dispel Magic would still apply, since it is still a spell making the person stone. Being 6th level, the Dispel Magic rules would apply to see if it is succesful. It is a spell with a duration, so you can try Dispel Magic on it. ![]() Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse
