The Chinese Sandalwood

Origin
Lady Po Nagar was the founder of the Cham people according to legends. She originated from a peasant family in the mountains of Khánh Hòa Province. Spirits assisted her when she sailed on a drift piece of sandalwood to China, where she married a Chinese crown prince, the son of the Emperor of China, who she had two children with, and then became Queen of Champa.

When Lady Po Nagar returned to Champa to visit her family, the Prince refused to let her go, but she flung the sandalwood into the ocean, disappeared with her children and reappeared at Nha Trang to her family. When the Chinese prince tried to follow her back to Nha Trang, she was furious, and turned him and his fleet into stone.

Effects
When the person is under pressure or fearful for their safety and the wood touches water, it will transport the user and several companions away from any threats. If said person or threat chases after them, they will petrify into stone if they ever meet again.
