# Talk:Spellbook of stone to flesh
I was testing the behaviour of stone to flesh in wizard mode and I found that reanimating a statue of a genocided monster produces that monster's corpse. I've looked in zap.c#bhito and trap.c#animate_statue, but I can't seem to find where in the source this is handled. Does anybody know? -- Killian 02:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

animate_statue is called from zap.c#line1627 and if this fails it proceeds to create the corpse if possible. -- SGrunt 03:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks—I had skimmed that section, and saw the call to animate_statue, but I missed the call to poly_obj(obj, CORPSE), which seems to be the bit that actually creates the corpse. -- Killian 03:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Bones Statues Stone-to-Flesh
What would happen if you encountered a bones file, and the player was a statue and you casted stone to flesh on it? (Heh, that'd be cool if it became a co-op.)- - DemonSlayerThe3 :: The Neutral Gnomish Wizard, with my kitten Ellinis! 03:37, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

You get a hostile player monster fully equipped with whatever the player was wearing. -- Qazmlpok 11:35, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
