You touch a creature with at least one petrified limb. If the creature has more than one petrified limb, you choose which limb is affected. For the duration, the creature is able to move that limb and bend its joints as it normally would, as if the limb were not petrified. (The limb does, however, remain petrified.) When the spell ends, the limb becomes locked in place again.
If casting at 3rd level or higher, you may choose up to 2 limbs to be affected. When cast in this way, the spell's duration is reduced to 6 hours. If casting at 4th level or higher, you may choose to temporarily animate an entirely petrified creature. When cast in this way, the spell's duration is reduced to 1 hour. Casting at lower than 4th level will not affect a fully petrified creature in any way.
This spell can only be cast on a living creature that is partly or wholly petrified. It cannot be used to animate a statue that was never a living creature, and it cannot be used to restore dead creatures to life.
* The Dark Crystal component must be present; it cannot be replaced by using a spell focus.
