    $\begingroup$ Hallucinogenics would work for the flashbacks and possibly for the frozen-ness, but I'm lost as to how to turn someone to stone, let alone have them survive it $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ We advise to wait at least 24 hours before accepting an answer. Unsolved questions attract more attention and improve your chances of getting good answers. $\endgroup$
