After a few turns, a Petrified monster becomes unable to do anything, loses all EV, and is vulnerable to high-tier [[stab]]s. It has a number of uses:

	*It can 'frontload' a battle. If Petrify works, a monster is basically dead, given it is alone and you are good enough at stabbing. If a few Petrify attempts don't work, you can escape the fight (e.g. by retreating upstairs before the monster gets into melee) and try again. In other words, Petrify lets you "win" against a dangerous monster before losing any HP.		*It can 'frontload' a battle.
