* In Hawaiian Mythology, Pele fell in love with a young chief named Lohia'u at a party, and they hooked up, but eventually she had to get home. She started to miss him, so she sent her younger sister Hi'iaka to bring him to her. Pele gave her a period of six weeks to bring back Lohia'u, and Hi'iaka was also instructed very specifically not to make any advances towards him or accept any from him. She agrees to this, but she was reluctant to leave her good friend Hopoe, a mortal woman that she spent her days dancing in a lehua forest with. Pele agrees to protect Hopoe and the forest in exchange for Hi'iaka's quest. Hi'iaka's quest takes a bit longer than anticipated (among other things, she had to revive Lohia'u after finding that he pined away for Pele, and [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent fight off giant monitor lizards]]...yes, really.) Pele grew impatient, and sent cascades of lava down over the lehua forest...and Hopoe. When the lava cools, Hopoe has turned into stone, to the devastation of Hi'iaka.

** During his reign as the Runelord of Greed, Karzoug the Claimer (the BigBad of {{Pathfinder}}'s ''Rise of the Runelords'' Adventure Path) used a variation of this to punish the High Vaultkeeper of Vadan (a position that presumably included accountancy) after he was found to have made some mistakes (the quote from Karzoug on this is unclear if he was stealing them for himself or genuinely miscounted):
-->'''Karzoug:''' "Your sniveling is neither amusing nor an excuse. As a servant of Shalast, you rightly understand that you are held to certain expectations. Failure in your duties extends beyond yourself, affecting your family, your countrymen, and this realm at large. Yet, no one feels your inadequacies more keenly than myself.
-->"As your ineptitudes have stolen something precious from me, I will repay you in turn. I seem to recall that you have seven sons, Arrdual of Vadan. Therefore, for each gold coin you have misaccounted, one of your children will be brought to the Pinnacle of Avarice. There, his flesh will be transmuted into the same gold you seem to place so little value upon.
-->"But fear not, Vaultkeeper, your children will be returned to you—and of greater value than ever before. Their gilded flesh will be a new monument set within Vadan’s square—an enduring reminder of precision’s necessity, and that all things within this domain belong to me."
