The tag implication #37718 gold_transformation -> petrification has been rejected.

Reason: Gold is an inanimate material, fulfilling requirements of petrification and how gold_transformation is used

Edit: This is meant to be an alias, not an implication, my bad

EDIT: The tag implication gold_transformation -> petrification (forum #305729) has been rejected by @bitWolfy.

Would it still count as petrification if the character remains animate? For example, a character that changes into an gold statue or becomes gold-covered and remains mobile.
