No see, she was only MOSTLY dead, not all dead. There's a big difference. |

well, she wasn't DEAD, she was just PETRIFIED. |

^^This.
Given that she recovered instantly afterwards without ill effect, she was alive throughout the whole ordeal. Which is even more disturbing when you think about it: your outer shell petrified, leaving your vital functions barely reduced, a living coffin. You sleep, maybe even waking up in darkness, painfully aware that you are entombed in your own body. The beast may have not killed you. But death would come eventually* *Unless of course the curse is meant to keep the victim alive throughout eternity, slowly driving them mad. |

I don't think only the outer shell petrifies. It probably starts there and moves in.
I mean, really, that's a staple trope in D&D and similar games -- the fish out of water character who was petrified and then gets returned to normal a century later none the worse for wear. |

Sure, but even there petrification is a separate status from death. |

Which is probably why Spike's so Whatev about it. He knows she's overreacting.
Plus: Celestia waters Spikes plnats? That's awesome. |

Petrification typically acts as a form of suspended animation, a concept I plan to use if I can ever get around to writing a fanfiction piece I have planned. |
