One willing creature you touch transforms into living metal. Until the spell ends, the target's Exhaustion level can't increase; the target has Resistance to Bludgeoning, Fire, Piercing, and Slashing damage; and it has Immunity to Poison damage and the Paralyzed, Petrified, and Poisoned conditions. If the target is Paralyzed, Petrified, or Poisoned when you cast the spell, those conditions immediately end for the target.
