Hi All,
I promised when I got the Stone that I would let y'all know what I
learn of it. This has been somewhat delayed as I didn't want to
experiment with it much until I could do it without putting stress
on the Stone and possibly breaking it. I am pleased to report that
I have remedied my energy shortage and I can use it with
confidence.

The Stone is a teleport device of great power. I will try to give you
enough information here for you to know how we can use it
without giving away secrets or boring you with unimportant
details. I will repeat some of what has been published by others,
especially Zorton.

The Stone differs from the Spriggen stick in that it can be used to
travel between snells. I can take others with me as I go. I cannot
send others without going myself.

I can only travel to a previously marked spot. This spot is the
point at which I enter the snell I mark. The Stone will only hold
one mark at a time and the mark is lost if I study or unequip it.

The stone is a right hand item so I am excluded from fighting or
Scrying or boosting while I hold it.

Teleportation requires a couple of seconds after I begin to
concentrate. During this time I cannot move. It is likely that any I
am taking with me are frozen as well.

I have not found a firm limit on the distance which I can teleport.
My current record is from the Mirror to South Gate, about 8 or 9
snells. The Stone showed some signs of stress with that
teleport and I will not try that distance again without good reason.

I have only attempted to teleport 1 other person. I succeeded
when they were next to me and failed at the limit of vision. In
between distances are yet to be tested. The number that I can
handle also has to be tested.

Others who are to be teleported must be sharing with me. This
isn't to increase the power (although I'm sure it helps), but is a
requirement for it to work on them. Without the linkage, I cannot
take them with me.

It seems likely from my distance test that greater distances and
greater numbers of people will put more stress on the stone and
increase the chance of breakage. It also seems likely that I can
take several people several snells without undue problems
though.

I believe that more training will allow me to take more people
greater distances without straining the stone. However, teleport
training is difficult and takes a very long time to show much
improvement.
