RIBCAGE HOLDS A STONE HEART**

Emil’s petrification curse was the product of being a test subject in their early life. After becoming orphaned with his older twin sister Halua, they were taken to an orphanage that housed several children that would eventually be taken away to be experimented on. Emil was to be turned into a weapon, imbued with powerful magic. His sister Halua received the same treatment, however, she was turned into a full fledged weapon before Emil was. Emil was to be used as a sort of safety net, being what would stand in front of Halua if and when she went on a rampage. Emil was a sort of ‘Plan B’ to Halua’s initial success. Halua did eventually break free of her restraints and went on to slaughter and destroy much of the lab leaving Emil to petrify her to prevent any more destruction.

Emil’s petrification stems from the eyes. He is able to turn anything he looks at to stone. It is the act of him looking at something, seeing something, that turns whatever is in his field of vision to stone. The longer he stares at something the more the petrification spreads. To an extent his power relies on focus of a single or few points. It is his immediate vision, what he is currently focused on subtly, will be turned to stone.

For example, you are looking at your computer screen. You see the entire screen so the entire screen will turn to stone. You also see your room around the screen, out of focus because you are specifically looking at the screen. The room around you does not turn to stone despite you technically seeing it. But the longer you look at the screen, more of the immediate surrounding area starts to petrify as well, whatever is touching it, it spreads.

Emil’s mansion is has been completely petrified on the outside as well as within. It can be assumed that Emil petrified the mansion upon seeing it initially, seeing the entire thing from afar, but he was focused on it so it all turned to stone eventually. This focus however isn’t intense, but more so an average level of focus one has when say speaking to someone or working. Emil cannot control his powers like that. Anything he looks at and sees will turn to stone.
