Origin[]

Andrew was an Apostle and the brother of Saint Peter, who was one of the disciples closer to Jesus, being present at the Last Supper.

When he was to be put to death by crucifixion, he pleaded to the Romans that they not nail him to the cross in the same way as Jesus, as he felt himself unworthy to die in the same way. The solution was to make the cross into an X shape, thus implementing the first known use of the device that would come to be known as a St. Andrew's Cross.

Effects[]

Forms a wooden cross barrier when held by someone in need of desperate help. Slowly stiffens the limbs into a cartwheel orientation, turning muscle tense and unmoving. Eventually petrifies the whole body into a frozen position.
