Flesh and Stone is an aura that activates Blood and Sand Stance. In Blood Stance (Flesh), the aura maims nearby enemies while increasing the physical damage they take. In Sand Stance (Stone), the aura blinds enemies in radius and grants the user damage reduction against enemies outside the aura. Activating the skill while it's toggled on will alternate between stances. Certain skills also behave differently based on the stance you are currently in.
You are in Blood Stance, nearby enemies are maimed and take increased physical damage.

You are in Sand Stance, nearby enemies are blinded and you take less damage from enemies which are not nearby.
