Just a quick question.
Would someone under the spell "Statue" be effected by Horrid Wilting? In this sense, I mean someone who is actively in statue form at the time the spell is cast.
The spell states it turns a creature to solid stone. Solid Stone has no water to evaporate from Horrid Wilting.
What it doesn't say is that it changes your creature type or grants any immunities beyond hardness 8.
I'd say no. As you say the statue spell doesn't say that it changes your creature type or grants any immunities but I don't see how you're going to squeeze any water out of it.
Technically, it's the GM's decision since it's not clearly stated one way or the other. After all, magic is involved, so common sense 'peaced-out' a while ago.
That said, the spell gives you hardness 8. From the section on attacks against objects:
Ineffective Weapons
Certain weapons just can't effectively deal damage to certain objects. For example, a bludgeoning weapon cannot be used to damage a rope. Likewise, most melee weapons have little effect on stone walls and doors, unless they are designed for breaking up stone, such as a pick or hammer.
I would count a rapid, extreme dehydration attack against a block of stone as being about as ineffective as taking an industrial strength hair dryer to a block of concrete.
