how do they work? does the mage have to touch them? or is it enough to
carry them in a bag?

what is your experience with them? how powerful do the mages get with
powerstones? if i compare only prices a powerstone of capacity 7 costs
roughly the same as a thrusting greatsword for a warrior. however its
usefulness seems much greater. what is your experience?

Powerstones must be touched to provide their power, or incorporated into
the magic item at the time of enchantment. A Staff spell can also extend
the Mage's touch to the Powerstone. Magic Items I (3e) had an article
"The Complete Powerstone" that detailed quite a bit about creation,
quirks, and usage. Note that only persons with Magery can manipulate
Powerstone energy -ie mana.


Please note the RAW are a bit complicated and in my haste to create some
items I really screwed up, which I'm still in the process of dealing
with. If you're interested, email me and I'll send you a copy of my
Creating Magical Items document that details the issues and a couple of
Gotchas, as well as our in-house solution.
