Scream of Medusa is insanely epic imo and Resist Magic is also really good.
Snake Skin is pretty useful and the trident is also good.

Just 1 question: what exactly is the Petrifying Gaze icon supposed to be? I have 0 clue. (I assume it's some unit turned into stone but that's about it)

Well, according to my concept, the hero of Medusa is a gorgon, she turns her enemies to stone by looking at them*

So yes, it's a passive stun ability.

Yeah, but why this poor petrified guy is in the blue circle?..

because it's an eye

It doesn't look like an eye. It's a blue circle similar to Reveal (in a manner).
I mean the idea of an eye that turns flesh to stone isn't too visible on the current icon. I suppose it should be either a serpent's eye (perhaps a Medusa's face with glowing eyes like Charm icon) or a guy's figure turning to stone, similar to Torment the Weak.

I don't quite understand what you want from me))

I discuss the resource and concept behind it, nothing more. It's your resource, after all. To whom else would I address my thoughts?)

It just doesn't sound like a discussion of the concept, but rather a condemnation) They say: Where is the eye? I didn't see him there...

These are really good.

The first two are giving ️ Sailor Moon ️

It's fun to see icon artists upload packs like these, that center around fleshing out a single "hero concept", rather than the usual bundle of color swaps or whatever. (I love those too, just saying these are always cool to me).

Nearly all of these winners to me; artistically sound, and some are even quite Warcraft-y IMO. I think I like the 'scream' & the 'scales' best for that, with the 'staff' a close 2nd (though is it a tentacle wrapped around it, fingers, or lightning?). The 'blink/glowy hand' is fine. The only one I dislike is the 'stonegaze', for the same reasons Gal mentioned: it was basically impossible for me to tell what it was without your explanation (the 'figure in stone' is a muted, off-center part of the composition), and it's further confused by the blue ring.

I think his point (& the one I share) is that if you wanted that blue circle to be interpreted as an eye, you did not succeed. He was offering suggestions for you to try to achieve success there, and I would encourage you to consider them as well. However it's ultimately just advice; take it or leave it. I don't have the skills to make such a change myself, nor the inclination.

If nothing else, I think that icon could benefit from a lot more clarity; currently it makes me think of a sort of "Sandstorm" icon (a hazy mess of brown with a figure roughly visible), which is cool too... but not what you were going for.

Based on these spells Medusa would be pretty tanky. More suitable for a boss than a player hero

Arcane Magic - deal a watery arcane blast of aoe magic damage in a cone
Resist Magic - gain a shield blocking the next magical effect if successful deal a shockwave of aoe damage
Petrifying gaze - periodically breifly stun enemies facing towards the Medusa
Scream of Medusa - Fear all enemies nearby the Medusa
Snake Skin - passive armor buff

I can recommeding map with my concept where its realized: Another Mess

Are there any based icons for this one or?

Set as useful in some cases, low effort and simplicity is bliss.
