When the stone is thrown at an enemy, the thrower must hit a target armour class (AC) of 10, irrespective of the target's armour or innate AC. On a successful hit, the stone inflicts 3 hit points of damage.

The range adjustments of the stone are as follows: within 1-3 hexes, no penalty; from 4-5 hexes, -2 to hit; and from 6-7 hexes, -5 to hit. Stones thrown past 7 hexes lose their magic and cause no damage. For this reason, and because the stone must remain in contact with the thrower's person — gloves permitted — the magic stone cannot be employed with a sling.

The stone must be held and not put down until it's thrown. Fumbled stones lose their magic upon striking the ground.

Takraw Ball

takraw ball

This wicker ball made from woven rattan and other materials, is a lightweight orb crafted to sustain the enchantment of up to four stones, so long as the ball is held by the thrower. Once the spell is cast, up to four magic stones can be inserted into the ball. Only one ball can be used per casting of the spell. The ball has the same chance to hit as any other throw, but if it connects then it causes all its contained stones to affect the target with a single hit.
