Carden gives you a red leather scroll of depetrification.
[HP:100%] [ME: 89%] [PE:100%]
> wear depet
You hold a red leather scroll of depetrification in your hand.

[HP:100%] [ME: 89%] [PE:100%]
> l stat
Your eyes fall upon a stately, heavy-framed camel.  This creature is much
taller than any horse you have seen.  A hardened, brownish-red hair covers
its leathery skin, and its appearance beneath seems to be considerably
bulky.  A foul odor seems to linger upon it with unceasing tenacity. 
Overall, a stately, heavy-framed camel is in excellent condition.

A stately, heavy-framed camel is using:
<worn as skin>       fur hide (brand new)

[HP:100%] [ME: 89%] [PE:100%]
> l gha

[HP:100%] [ME: 85%] [PE:100%]
> A life like statue of Ghashat is standing here.
A statue of Ghashat is made of stone and size medium.

[HP:100%] [ME: 85%] [PE:100%]
> recite gha
You recite a red leather scroll of depetrification.
The statue is nowhere to be found!



Please get this issue resolved. Looks like two might be there. Is Carden's pet interfering in some way?
Either way, we burned through 3 depet scrolls and none of them worked.
Discuss.

I can't remember for certain, but I think that when you depetrify a PC, you have to provide the entire name, not a shortened version, a la resurrection.

I also do recall some wonky stuff regarding depetrify and multiple NPC statues: I think maybe you just can't target NPC statues?

It's possible that the depetrification code first checks to see if there's a PC statue of that name, and then if not then it just depetrifies the first NPC statue in the room.

It would be nice if it was coded to first check for the name of the statue you're reciting at, then check to make sure the player is logged. Then perform the depetrify function.
Is this something that could be changed?
Because I feel as though in a game where everything is short-handed (look is l), reciting depetrify should work the same way.

Always interesting to see some theorycrafting about a bug when the facts of the matter is the player is just too lazy to type out more than 3 letters.

Well, unless you play a sorcerer and have realized that you have to type out the entire name, it's not obvious that you would have to, especially since very few spells behave in that way.
