Petrifying Cloud is a monster-only spell which emits a stream of clouds of calcifying dust, dealing minor damage on impact. Anything that ends its turn inside a cloud has a chance to start petrifying. The higher your XL (HD for monsters), the less likely for the petrification attempt is to be successful.
