Constitution Saving Throw: DC 12, each creature in a 30-foot Cone. If the basilisk sees its reflection within the Cone, the basilisk must make this save. Failure: The target has the Restrained condition and repeats the save at the end of its next turn if it is still Restrained, ending the effect on itself on a success. Failure: The target has the Petrified condition instead of the Restrained condition.
