Creating somekind of living library would be indeed very nice.

I can see it now...

Player obsidianizes a forgotten beast.

Player gets a dumb mandate.

Player makes an obsidian miniforge, dumb noble continues to live (for now).

Player sells a bunch of items to the caravan...

UristMcHauler cancels move item to trade depot: handling dangerous animal.
UristMcHauler has been struck down!
UristMcSock has been struck down!
UristMcMayor has been struck down!
UristMcGrandMasterWeaponsmith has been struck down!

Somewhere along the way this innocent thread about cheese went horribly, horribly wrong.
I'd say it's par for the course. Did you see that crundle thread? That one started out wrong.

Carbonite.  That is all. 

Imagine encasing a dwarf in something, maybe even in obsidian, on purpose, and leave him alive.  He HAS to survive.  Abandon fortress, reclaim, let Han Solo out.  He should get like a sad thought, something like:

Urist McSolo has been encased in obsidian for far too long.

Imagine "storing" the denizens of an entire fortress, abandoning, reclaim, etc.
you mean like cryosleep? That would be fun to have a few extra dwarves at the near start (again) of your forstress, who could be kind of "elders" or something

Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).

Before you abandon, freeze your steel-clad, awesome millitary in obsidian. Reclaim party hews them out.

Instant millitary now, 'cuz you get sieges first year 'round when you reclaim a fort with the right conditions.

Should have serious injuries though - a year encased in ice and suddenly unthawed should be almost lethal 100% of the time, and should leave creatures with frost bitten (acts like rotten) limbs, loss of limbs or even nerve damage.

Any thoughts on how this can be abused?
Around these parts It's called weaponized.

If nothing else, I'd like to see chunks of material that are encasing an (ex)unit that are turned into statues have a very strong tendency towards being that unit making a plaintive gesture.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Considering what happened when an enterprising player modded them in, I don't think that's ever going to happen.
