Otherwise, a creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone\ \ and is restrained. The restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at\ \ the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect\ \ on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is unpetrified by\ \ a god.If the gorgon sees its own face reflected on a polished surface within\ \ 30 ft. of it and in an area of bright light, the gorgon is, due to its curse,\ \ affected by its own visage.This trait has no effect if the gorgon's face is\ \ not its normal flesh state.
