  AUTHORS INTRODUCTION 
   
  As I begin the final stages of assembling this treatise I feel that I must reflect back on my first memories of the fascinating IOUN 
  stones. Since the very first time I held an IUON stone in my grasp, felt the initial pulse of energy that it contained, and days later 
  watched with wonder as it slowly glided into orbit around me, I was determined to learn all that I could about these fantastic 
  gems. Sitting here now with more than a double score of them circling slowly about me I still marvel at how little I really have 
  learned. They are such a small thing, yet they hold incredible power. 
   
  As a young man of but 16 years I had left the service of my mentor, Talmun Forion, to begin the journeyman’s phase of my 
  arcane training. For eight years Talmon had struggled to teach me, eventually succeeding in pushing a bit of knowledge through 
  my thick skull. It was decided that I must find another who would advance my training. My destination was far to the west, 
  through the Krantiin Mountains; a journey that would take several months as I would be travelling with a slow caravan. My 
  hope was to find an elder wizard in the young kingdoms that would be willing to accept service from a fledgling mage. 
   
  But after the years of staying within my master’s towers, boredom and impatience with the slow pace of the caravan set in 
  after the first week. After almost a decade of study, I was free for a time. I wanted excitement! So I chose to ride on ahead of 
  the rest, hoping to amuse myself in the next town (or two) for a few days while awaiting the caravan’s arrival. The road was 
  safe and well patrolled, so off I went, soon leaving the caravan far behind. It was one of life’s small decisions, a minor whim that 
  would greatly influence the rest of my days. Without incident I travelled for three days, finally arriving in the town of Drak, a 
  pleasant little place that bustled with life. 
   
  I spent much of the next few days sitting in a small tavern listening to the stories told by the local adventurers, avidly dreaming 
  that I was along with them on their fanciful journeys. I was enthralled by their tales of treasure; I was thrilled by the thoughts of 
  combating the strange creatures they described. I longed for the opportunity to negotiate my way through the deadly traps, 
  and solve the clever puzzles set to block the way. Oh, for just a single chance to be the heroic one who would save companions 
  and gain riches. Why not? I had no place that I needed to be!  
   
  On a sudden impulse I made my decision. I would do it! I would brave the depths and find my fortune! Full of my own self 
  worth, armed with my precious spell book, a few meager scrolls, and a quickly acquired pack full of very simple traveling gear, I 
  felt a sudden longing to prove myself. Without even realizing why, I sought companions and adventure. Within a few days I had 
  found a small group that was desperately in need of a mage. Forgetting the caravan that was soon to arrive, I ventured into the 
  unknown, my feet now set on a path I could have never imagined. 
   
  There were six of us on that first exploration; inexperienced young scrubs without a clue, seeking fame and fortune within a 
  small Zaeranni1 complex located near the fringes of the Fash Domain. The place had already been entered many times, yet, for 
  some strange reason there were always new chambers within that were ready to be explored. We were well aware that many 
  brave adventurers had perished over the past years while investigating the secrets of the caverns of Drak-Kientor; but full of the 
  rashness of youth we were confident that we could overcome any obstacles.  
   
  The full story of that meeting, the names of my companions, and how four of the six survived those first days together can be 
  found in another text2 and need not be repeated here; suffice it to say that with luck we succeeded where many before us had 
  failed. Gold and jewels aplenty were found by us along with almost a dozen wondrous magical items after six harrowing days of 
  adventure. With delight we divided our treasures and as part of my share I was the recipient of two of the four fabulous IOUN 
  stones that we had recovered. I had read of these gems in the dusty tomes owned by Talmon, but this was the first time I had 
  ever handled such a thing. Call it fate; call it the design of the Gods, but it was those two little stones, more than anything else, 
  that changed me forever. 
   
  They felt warm as I first handled them, almost throbbing with some inner life of their own. I sensed a slowly spreading warmth 
  from my hand as the pulse wrapped my entire being with a feeling of power. The Pale Green Prism throbbed with an 
  indefinable energy, sending a heady surge of life into me as it slowly attuned to my needs. The other stone, a Vibrant Purple 
  Prism was beyond value, and is a stone that I hold dear even now. As it attuned itself to me I found that I could hold many more 
  spells in my memory, the stone growing brighter as each spell was memorized. I was instantly enthralled by the IOUN stones, 
  watching for hours as they swirled and drifted lazily around me. Their antics started me thinking; what was there origin, how 
  were they made, or were they a natural phenomenon? And most important, how soon could I obtain more?  
                                                             
  1 Interested readers may wish to consult my treatise titled: ZAERANNI- THE GREAT ONES WHO LIVE BEYOND THE VEIL OF LIGHT for my 
  conjectures on the reasons behind the Zaeranni ruins that are found around Kytheria. 
  2 My autobiography titled: MOORCHLYNE: MAN, APPRENTICE, MAGE contains all of the details of my early adventuring days and details most of 
  my early years with the Arch-Mage Siljameer Varooste.

  With a bit of regret I knew that I was destined to bid farewell to my new found friends, for I knew where I must go. I would not 
  be able to rest until I knew all that could be learned about the fabulous IOUN stones. I had heard from my mentor that the true 
  expert on IOUN stones was a Mage named Siljameer Varooste who lived to the north, near the Acitian Glacier fields, deep in 
  the heart of the great Legasitor Mountain range. My new goal was to seek apprenticeship with him in order to learn the lore of 
  IOUN stones. I cannot explain my reasons; but I knew that even though Siljameer chose to live in seclusion, he would be willing 
  to take me in as his apprentice.  
   
  I was lucky in my search, for after two grueling months of travel, and a few harrowing adventures with my companions, I finally 
  reached the hidden manse of Siljameer. I gaped in amazement at the walls of precious metal and jewels that stood before me. 
  Just as I prepared to knock on the great iron door it was opened from within revealing Siljameer himself grinning at me. He was 
  clad in a crystal robe of shimmering prismatic fire, and he was surrounded by a cloud of more than a dozen IOUN stones. They 
  circled him, spinning slowly, drifting with a wind that only they could feel, and glowing with their special form of inner fire. I 
  could swear that I could hear them…singing3.  
   
  As I stood transfixed, one of the stones, a most lovely Lavender Spindle, drifted forward to hover directly before my eyes. Twice 
  the stone circled slowly around me before moving back to hover just above Siljameer’s head. It tilted slightly, “regarded” me 
  with seeming curiosity, then without a sound it moved back to orbit my head. I watched with trepidation while Siljameer 
  grinned broadly, it appeared that I had been accepted. The best days of my life were about to begin. Lost was the desire to 
  quest for petty baubles and treasure; found was the overwhelming desire for knowledge. 
   
  With a sense of sadness my travelling companions and I said our goodbyes. Our paths would part here for a while, and although 
  they returned several times over the next decades, and I assisted them in a few of their harrowing quests, my life was now set 
  upon the path of discovery, a journey I never regretted. 
   
  Over the next few years I worked with my new master, helping him to compile all of his scattered notes.4 He taught me much 
  about other forms of magic, but always we returned to the enigma of the IOUN stones. While he lived we made no less than a 
  dozen journeys into the fabulous realm that lies between the Plane of Positive Energy and the Elemental Plane of Earth: a zone 
  of energetic crystals and veins of the purest metals -The Quasi-Plane of Mineral. During this time we fabricated the Arackle of 
  Siljameer, and more than two dozen lesser IOUN stone items.  
   
  Along the border of the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral and the Positive Material Plane we conducted research into the 
  mysteries of the IOUN stones. From the safety of the great lead towers that extend like spires deep into the energy realm we 
  attempted to duplicate the conditions that created the valuable geodes from which IOUN stones are born. We were assisted 
  many times by a being known as CRYSTALLE who wished to learn as much as we did about the formation of the stones. 
   
  Siljameer and I consulted many times with this apparent ruler of that Plane, a lordly figure known to all lesser elementals as 
  CRYSTALLE, and even lent aid to him on a great quest. For our efforts we were gifted a newly gathered geode full of a dozen of 
  the rarest of IOUN stones. With true ceremony CRYSTALLE stood within a swarm of more than 200 of his most powerful IOUN 
  stones that spun and danced in every direction. Thousands of his SHARD warriors stood silently in ranks nearby as he held out 
  the geode to Siljameer. He also gestured for each of us to choose one additional stone apiece from his own cloud of glittering 
  companions. Never have two been so honored. I chose a Lavender Rod that has since saved my life on innumerable occasions. 
  It is perhaps my most prized possession.  
   
  We also puzzled for years over the strange affinity that the ancient Zaeranni race had for IOUN stones, in addition to all forms 
  of crystal energy. The two are linked in a strange way, for according to the fragments we have deciphered it appears that the 
  Zaeranni could attune an IOUN stone as soon as they touched the stone to their flesh. Many times we learned that IOUN stones 
  were in some way associated with many of the strange ruins that were scattered all around the world. We visited dozens of the 
  sites, even ventured into the valley of Athen-Annara, but learned little during our investigation. If not for IOUN stones I know 
  that Siljameer and I would have delved deeper into the lost mysteries of the Zaeranni. 
   
                                                             
  3 IOUN stones are playful, and at times show very low intelligence. They seem to play at games of tag, darting and gliding around, hiding from 
  each other. They show a level of child-like curiosity, hovering close-by whenever I investigate some new object or tome. They even seem to show 
  concern for other IOUN stones; I once witnessed a small stone as it burned out and turned grey. Other stones in orbit moved close to it, following 
  the same current, and seemed to be trying to support their “friend” as it slowly faded. 
  4 IOUN STONES: THEIR SECRETS REVEALED by Siljameer Varooste is a series of compiled documents and notes that I assembled during my first 
  years with the great mage, and in many respects they are the true introduction to these wondrous stones of power, and a precursor to this very 
  tome. That rare libram also contains a list of the many IOUN related items that we created during our decades together.

  Decades passed along, with Siljameer and me now working as equals, moving to other magical distractions. After his untimely 
  death I continued the work alone, with the aid of many assistants. But now in my twilight years I hope to finish this final work, 
  an expansion of Siljameer’s earlier efforts. It is my desire to travel the world, seeking to catalog the many hundreds (perhaps 
  thousands) of known IOUN stones. I have heard that in a land called Kandarand the IOUN stones are a symbol of prestige, and a 
  target for war and assassination as petty lords struggle to obtain them. The Khybiil Mages are said to be most greedy about 
  acquiring IOUN stones, and I have narrowly averted several attempts they made against my own collection. 
   
  The task at cataloging was daunting, for some of the powers they possess cannot be accurately demonstrated without possibly 
  destroying the stone involved; some effects are a onetime use that is difficult to prove. There were even many clever fakeries 
  that proved to be of no value at all; merely crude displays of levitation and colored lights. There were many who were not 
  willing to reveal the power of their IOUN stones, fearing that I only wished to steal them. But I am now beyond such petty 
  motives, and little did they realize that my own collection was without equal. At the time of this writing more than 180 IOUN 
  stones are my attuned companions. Only a few dozen will travel with me, the rest are carefully stored awaiting my return. This 
  humble tome then is the result of those years of work…may you find it informative.

  It is known that in the dark times before the Tarmidian Empire, the 121st High 
  Clerist of Rhamannin, Hugo Mikal III, could perform incredible miracles of 
  healing. This rendering of the woodcut Icon that resides within the sacristy of 
  the Abbey of Hishimian clearly shows that part of his strength lay perhaps in 
  the IOUN stones seen around his head.

  GENERAL RULES AND DETAILS OF IOUN STONES:  
   
  The rules presented here are my own interpretation on how IOUN stones would theoretically function and is intended to place 
  these gems into a proper AD&D setting. I envision the IOUN stones as originating naturally, not as a magical item that is created 
  by some wizard. The actual origin of IOUN stones is from the Dying Earth novels by Jack Vance where they are found within the 
  hearts of dead stars. In this dangerous place they are mined by beings who pluck them out of pockets of black dust on the 
  dense stellar core before they are destroyed by “the nothing”? A zone/ barrier which will destroy everything it touches. 
   
  I used the Manual of the Planes for a lot of the information on the Planes involved, extrapolating and adding as needed, and my 
  two articles from Dragon Magazine #174 would also be of aid, providing a little more information, and details of a few creatures 
  from the Elemental Plane of Mineral. 
   
  Those who have downloaded this document can feel free to use or ignore any part or all of the information in their own 
  campaigns…very little of the information after #1 is in any way official. 
   
  1) The basic gaming statistics of IOUN stones are derived from the AD&D 1st Edition Dungeon Masters Guide. Two sections are 
  important to this discussion, which are: 
   
  "These magical stones always float in the air and must be within 3’ of the owner to be efficacious. The new possessor of the stones must 
  hold each and then release it, so it takes up a circling orbit, whirling and trailing, circling at 1’ to 3’ radius of his or her head. Thereafter, 
  they must be grasped or netted to separate them from their owner. The owner may voluntarily seize and stow the stones (at night, for 
  example) to keep them safe. He or she would of course lose any of the benefits they confer during that time.”  
   
  “Whenever IOUN stones are exposed to attack, they are treated as armor class -4 and take 10 hit points of damage to destroy. They 
  save as if they were made of hard metal, +3.” 
   
  All of this has been retained as “gospel” for this list; much more has been added in order to make them a much more varied 
  and desirable magical item. Large portions of the additional background presented here have been taken from two articles I 
  wrote that appeared in Dragon Magazine #174 quite a few years ago. 
   
  2) Usually any IOUN stone must be attuned for a minimum of one full week before any benefit is gained; it must remain in 
  physical contact or stay within 1’ of the user during this entire time period. As the week of attunement progresses the user 
  slowly gains insight into what benefit the stone will impart. Many times it is at this stage that the stone and the owner find that 
  they do not “fit”. Remember that many types of IOUN stones will only benefit a certain class of character. But any IOUN stone 
  can be attuned to any character, even if the user cannot activate the stones power. 
   
  The IOUN stone functions by “leeching” energy across the extra-planar boundary, tapping Positive energy in a method that is 
  still a mystery. They then transmit certain frequencies to their owner, granting seemingly miraculous benefits. Sometimes the 
  degree of energy varies, giving IOUN stones with random results or fluctuating levels of power. 
   
  After the initial week of “contact” is over the IOUN stone can now be put into use by gently throwing it into the air. The stone 
  will now glide into orbit, slowly circling around the user in a meandering path, drifting along a psychic current that only the 
  stone is able to detect. At times it moves quite slowly, occasionally it will simply hover and slowly rotate in one place; at other 
  times, as in combat situations, it may spin rapidly while racing quickly around the users head. The sight of a character 
  possessing several IOUN stones engaged in combat can be quite incredible, as the stones, in a shimmering curtain of color, dart 
  and twist about his figure. 
   
  3) IOUN stones are considered to be special “magical” items that follow some rather unique laws. Even though they occur 
  naturally, deep within the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral and the border with the Positive Material Plane (almost always 
  under the guidance of that realm’s denizens), they still draw on the same forces of energy as do all magic spells. For countless 
  centuries they slowly form in thick geodes, continually bathed in waves of Positive energy, the engine that powers everything 
  magical. Thereafter they form a permanent and almost unbreakable conduit to the energy plane.  
   
  After attunement they are able to create a link which makes them able to draw on the vast pool of power needed to initiate 
  their unique ability. Since they have permanent contact, the powers they exert are not able to be stopped by any mortal spell 
  effect of 5th level or less, with the exception of Dispel Magic which is only rarely effective. Thus they will work through the 4th 
  level Minor Globe of Invulnerability but not a 6th level Globe of Invulnerability. However, they can be destroyed by many 
  different spell attacks. 
   
  
  10 | P a g e  
   
  4) IOUN stones are subject to possibly having their often unique effects stopped by almost all forms of magic resistance. The 
  reason for this is as follows: magic resistance is also a naturally radiated field drawing on the same pool of power in a very 
  similar fashion to IOUN stones. Therefore it is possible to stop an IOUN stones effect with magic resistance. It becomes a simple 
  matter of force against force.  
   
  5) Thus there are currently only a few spells known that will inhibit the power of an IOUN stone: 
   
  A 
  A Dispel Magic spell may momentarily cancel the power of an IOUN stone. The affected stone will drop to the ground and 
  one week of attunement is needed to restore the stone. The stone is considered to be 16th level in this regard. It is also 
  very difficult to target a drifting stone with any form of spell. 
  B 
  An Anti Magic spell will automatically cancel the power of an IOUN stone. As soon as they encounter the barrier the stone 
  will temporarily cease to function. They will continue to orbit their owner, drawing back power that is needed. A full week 
  of attunement is required before the stone will function again. 
  C 
  A Mordenkainen’s Disjunction spell has a 25% chance to permanently destroy an IOUN stone. Any stone that survives the 
  effect will function normally. 
  D 
  A Globe of Invulnerability will stop an IOUN stones effects from penetrating, but does not affect the stone in any other 
  way. 
   
  6) There are not truly any cursed IOUN stones, only cleverly cursed fakeries. However some true IOUN stones may form 
  incorrectly with minor flaws within the crystalline structure. These flaws will cause the stones to sometimes have an adverse 
  effect on the user. They may actually be usable, but almost always with a strange or even dangerous side effect. (See notes on 
  “Cursed” IOUN stones for details on several “Cursed IOUN stones)  
   
  7) Super-charged versions of many of these IOUN stones are known to exist, having the same shape and color, but in addition 
  they also have multi-colored sparkles that swirl deep within their matrix. These stones only occur 5% of the time, and not all 
  stones have a super-charged counterpart. Super charged versions of any IOUN stone will have triple the experience point value 
  and a minimum of triple the GP cost (even more than this in some rare cases with powerful stones). 
   
  8) In many cases an IOUN stones user will roll a D10 when activating the power of a stone. The resulting number determines 
  how many segments (casting time) are required before its effect can manifest. If used to block a spell from an attacker that is 
  not in the line of sight, a +2 modifier is made to the die roll. Compare the casting time of the spell to the result to determine if 
  the IOUN stone is effective. There are some IOUN stones that are listed as “Instant”, these stone activate in less than one tenth 
  of a segment. Here is a listing of the “types” of IOUN stones: 
   
  Type Effect 
  I 
  Instant effect IOUN stones activate in 1/10th of a segment (see 1st level Magic User spell: Featherfall).  
  B 
  Boosting IOUN stones allows for the storage of additional spells, or adds additional hit points. 
  P 
  Permanent effect IOUN stone have a continual radiated field (+1 Protection etc.) for as long as the IOUN stone is in 
  “orbit”. 
  V 
  Voluntary effect IOUN stones, use the D10 roll when are activated by the user. 
  L 
  Limited use IOUN stone effects use the D10 roll and can be used “x” times per day or week, and then slowly regain 
  their energy. 
  S 
  Single use IOUN stones almost always crumble into a fine dust after activation. 
  C 
  Charge holding IOUN stones are similar to voluntary use stones. They are also activated by the user with the D10 roll 
  and when depleted they turn gray or crumble.  
  T 
  Temporary IOUN stones absorb damage effects from various sources before burning out. 
   
  9) Because they draw on the Positive energy link that is also linked to the owner’s life-force, free floating IOUN stones will 
  almost never work for any undead creature. Undead are still able to use the powers from any IOUN stone that has been 
  incorporated into a magical device of some sort, but devices of this kind are extremely rare. Liches are able to use IOUN stones 
  since their life force is still “active”, albeit very well hidden; the link that they use to their essence is also a link that an IOUN 
  stone is able to use in order to attach itself. 
   
  10) Except in very rare cases the powers gained from IOUN stones will only work as long as the stone orbits the user. This 
  means that a spell caster who gains additional spells from an IOUN stone will lose access to those spells if the stone is removed 
  from orbit before the spells are cast. Some magic items, especially those that incorporate IOUN dust can be fabricated to hold 
  IOUN stones in a single location, and some of these devices also allow for the storage of extra spells.

  11) IOUN stones orbit the user slowly, seemingly to drift aimlessly in random paths yet staying within 3’ at all times. They are 
  steadily absorbing the positive energy (Life Force, Kirlian Aura, Ki, etc.) that is constantly flowing from the Positive Material 
  Plane, giving life to the user. In a symbiotic exchange they will convert a portion of this energy into the various effects that they 
  grant to the user.  
   
  12) When a user of an IOUN stone dies naturally the stones slowly drop to the ground. When death from bleeding occurs the 
  same effect will occur. However if the user perishes from a violent death (dropping from positive hp to -10 or below from one 
  series of attacks) the stones will fly D3x10’ from the body before they drop to the ground. Any stones that are owned by a 
  character that has been raised from the dead or resurrected will need to be re-attuned. 
   
  13) Usually only one IOUN stone of a single type can be used at the same time by a single character, with the exception of #15- 
  burned out stones. Multiple IOUN stones of identical color and shape will not stack with each other except in very rare cases; 
  curiously however this does not include any of the random shape changing stones that happen to become similar to one 
  possessed by the user. Multiple stones of the same color and shape can be attuned; however you only gain the effects of one 
  stone. (See #450 for the only known exception to this rule) 
   
  14) It is believed by many that perhaps since IOUN stones are cared for, and nurtured by other elemental creatures during their 
  “growth” within the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral, they are possibly a form of sentient mineral life? Perhaps IOUN stones 
  are alive and only thrive by somehow being capable of forming a symbiotic relationship with another creature. 
   
  15) IOUN stones can alter their size to accommodate any creature that employs them. This seems to be a proportional change 
  linked to the energy required by the owning creature. When employed by a dragon the stones may swell with more energy, 
  becoming the size of a grown mans fist; yet when used by a kobold they will be but ½” in size. For human sized users the stones 
  will usually be approximately 1” in size. 
   
  16) Any living creature of at least semi-intelligence can benefit from the power of most IOUN stones. Some mages will even 
  attune IOUN stones to their familiars in order to augment their powers. Over the years there are many tales of strange 
  occurrences whenever IOUN stones are involved. 
   
  17) There are also known to be a few micro-IOUN stones (designated SMALL in the lists) that have the look and color of normal 
  stones, but with temporary or greatly reduced duration effects. Such stone are small, being about ¼” in size. They are much 
  sought after by those who are able to use them in the fabrication of magical items. Not all IOUN stones have a micro version, 
  and less than four dozen have been identified. 
   
  18) Except in very rare cases it is not possible for one character to use another’s IOUN stones during an adventure. Switching 
  owners, for even a brief moment requires re-attunement.  
   
  19) Once attuned, an IOUN stone can be freely captured by its owner at any time by using a small net, or even with his bare 
  hands. The power gained from the stone is lost when it is not in orbit, but as long as the stone is within 1’ of its user at all times 
  it will not need to be re-attuned. IOUN stones that are stored within any type of extra-dimensional device like a Bag of Holding, 
  or Portable Hole will need to be re-attuned. 
   
  20) So far there has been no reason found for the connection between a stones shape and color. But the color and shape 
  pairings listed here are always consistent. Crystalline structure determines the power. 
   
  21) The additional benefits / downside of owning multiple IOUN stones are as follows:  
   
  The Good: 
  A 
  Prime Material dwellers always have a Charisma of “0” when dealing with most Elementals creatures. In their eyes we are 
  polluted conglomerates composed of all elements that have been messily thrown together. Each IOUN stone gives a +1 to 
  the users Charisma score to a maximum of +18 when dealing with Earth Elementals. 
  B 
  Characters with multiple IOUN stones will be regarded with much more respect by others. Many adventurers never have 
  the chance to acquire such items. 
  C 
  Each IOUN stone that is in use will reduce the attunement process of any new stones by one day to a minimum of three 
  days. 
  D 
  Owners of 12 or more IOUN stones are able to “send” an IOUN stone to another creature by thought alone. There is an 
  un-modifiable 50% chance that the stone will accept the new owner, becoming instantly attuned. The stone will need re-
  attuned if this roll fails. 
  
  12 | P a g e  
   
  The Bad: 
  E 
  Many commoners will view the owner of a cloud of IOUN stones with a mixture of superstitious fear and curiosity which 
  could draw undue attention. 
  F 
  Some powerful individuals who see the IOUN stones will be subject to intense greed, and will have a strong desire to 
  obtain your IOUN stones. Powerful enemies and hired thieves are always a threat. 
  G 
  It is very difficult, if not impossible, to use some abilities when IOUN stones are in use (i.e. hide in shadows, or simply 
  moving in the dark). 
  H 
  Creatures from the Elemental Plane of Earth can sense these stones, and some of the more intelligent may attempt to 
  retrieve them for their liege, CRYSTALLE. 
   
  22) The self proclaimed Lord of the Plane of Mineral, a great Elemental named CRYSTALLE derives most of his powers from an 
  immense assortment of IOUN stones, many of which have incredible abilities that have never been catalogued. Rarely is this 
  Lord ever seen with fewer than 100 of these fabulous gems. It is rumored that CRYSTALLE has hundreds of secret places where 
  he has his minions cultivating the geodes that contain the IOUN stones. Some of these have been subjected to millennia of 
  immersions into the Positive Material Plane; what incredible powers IOUN stones from these geodes would contain can only be 
  imagined. (See creature section for complete details on Crystalle)  
   
  23) When they are discovered it is usually quite easy for adventurers to identify IOUN stones, even when they are mixed in with 
  several dozen cut gemstones. The scintillating colors that they give off are truly breathtaking, almost moving as if they had a 
  living pulse. When touched they feel slightly warm, giving off an almost electric tingle that is quite pleasant; a soothing 
  sensation that flows like sentient water into any living creature. The feeling is almost like finding a lost companion, the first 
  blush of…youth. It is an addictive touch that is slightly different for every single IOUN stone. It is suggested that it is this 
  sensation that very often triggers such powerful lust for the stones in some characters. 
   
  24) IOUN stones form in large geode like structures that are found along the border line between the Positive Material Plane 
  and the Elemental Plane of Earth. In this dangerous border zone full of rampant energies a prospecting character will have the 
  greatest luck in locating these incredible formations. The geodes are large, usually a foot across, with some reaching truly 
  massive proportions of over a yard across.  
   
  They appear as large rather unattractive conglomerates of dense crystal of little or no intrinsic value. But nestled within them; 
  enmeshed in a fine crystalline web and surrounded by a super fine sand like substance are the IOUN stones, usually from 3-12 
  stones per geode. Their shapes and colors are absolutely dazzling when revealed, pulsing with energy like no other. And each 
  individual IOUN stone within a geode will have different powers, as each shape and color absorbs a different pattern of Positive 
  energy.  
   
  How these geodes are formed, and what exactly is the trigger that imbues the IOUN stones within is completely a mystery. 
  Several theories exist but Siljameer Varooste had a theory that is the most common. He proposes that occasionally, small 
  groups of valuable crystalline gemstones become encased within a globule of Proto-Elemental Earth material. Compressed over 
  time by the immense pressures of the Elemental Plane of Earth the geode is slowly formed. 
   
  During the formation process the geode is also subjected to immersion within the frequent pulsating waves of energy that 
  occurs along the Positive Material Planer border. The energy passes through the outer shell and becomes trapped within the 
  crystals inside the thick shell. During the process the stones gain a natural repulsion field, and also lose much of their physical 
  weight, replacing it with pure energy that is held in flux.  
   
  Millions of geodes fail to survive the many trips into the positive Material Plane; rupturing and spewing the unformed stones 
  into the energetic nothingness. Those geodes that manage to withstand the rigors are pushed back into the Elemental Plane of 
  Earth where they are almost always recovered by the denizens of that place. But occasionally a geode escapes their attentions. 
  There are surely occasions when the geodes will spend a short time (perhaps a few hundred to a thousand years) lodged within 
  or near one of the other Quasi-Elemental Planes (Lightning / Steam / Radiance / Vacuum / Salt / Ash / Dust). Because of this 
  exposure they absorb different frequencies of energy, thus picking up powers associated with those dangerous places. 
   
  Almost all of the few IOUN stones that are found on the Prime Material Planes are from such lost geodes that have been 
  recovered by adventuring groups. But such missions are not without risk, since the harvesting of IOUN stone geodes is full of 
  dangers; both from the natural forces of the Planes involved and from those who dwell within them. The inhabitants of the 
  Elemental Plane of Earth will not react kindly to any removal of large numbers IOUN stones without massive compensation. 
  There are even reports of immense SHARD warriors being sent to the Prime Material Planes to recover “stolen” IOUN stones. 
   
  
  13 | P a g e  
   
  25) The opening of any IOUN geode is a very risky business. The positive energies confined within can be quite lethal when the 
  outer shell is broken, inflicting 6D12+8 damage to any unprotected individuals within 30’, so remember to use extreme 
  precautions when opening an IOUN geode. Their centuries of immersion in the Positive Material Plane have infused the interior 
  matrix with incredible amounts of raw energy that will be released as soon as the shell is breached. Without proper preparation 
  and protections a player could be seriously injured, or even killed by the released forces. 
   
  26) There are other things found within these geodes that are discussed more fully in another volume of Magic Items related to 
  this work, most notably the strange IOUN Wands of Majkoor Kethra.  
   
  27) IOUN sand is discovered almost every time when an IOUN geode is found intact and unbroken. The stones within are always 
  surrounded by this heavy, glittering material. Occasionally it will naturally form itself into small vortices into which IOUN stones 
  can be placed. Even by itself, IOUN sand has a definite value, with a small bag fetching up to 1000GP.  
   
  Some high level magic users have the ability to shape this sand into fantastic items: robes, cloaks, helms, bracers, gauntlets, 
  wands, and staffs, can be created. There is even a rumor that ages ago complete suit of armor was crafted from the dust, which 
  would form a matrix that would allow for almost a dozen small stones to be inserted; if this is true it could well be among the 
  most valuable magic items ever crafted. 
   
  However, such items are quite rare and very powerful. The dust is most commonly found in such items as an IOUN Halo, IOUN 
  Ring, and the many known variations of IOUN bracers pendants and torq’s. As part of these items stones actually function to 
  double an IOUN stones effects whenever the stone is placed within its matrix. Once placed, an IOUN stone will always remain 
  inside the “dust” until removed. 
   
  Ultra-powerful mages have succeeded in manufacturing items from multiple IOUN stones: the Arackle of Siljameer Varooste 
  and the four smaller Arackles of Tohur-Zoic are only the most renowned of such achievements. Moorchlyne himself is rumored 
  to have made a staff with two powerful IOUN stones as part of its matrix and the fighter/mage known as Hasq-Demmran 
  supposedly had a pendant containing four small violet hued IOUN stones that swirled within a cloud of Cobalt Blue IOUN sand. 
   
   
  How to use these tables: 
  Roll a D6 for the table number, and then roll D100 to determine which IOUN stone is found, or simply choose the one required.

  Each D100 table is presented in two formats, Quick and Detailed. Quick 
  lists the stone and type for quick reference while Detailed presents all 
  the IOUN Stone’s information that is needed.  
   
  Sometimes even the lowest of creatures will have the 
  ability to understand the power within IOUN 
  stones…often with unexpected or quite dangerous 
  results.

  17 | P a g e  
   
  7 
  PALE GREEN PRISM (P) 
  One of the most coveted, and perhaps most 
  powerful of all IOUN stones; this gem adds +1 
  entire level of experience (the user gains 
  sufficient experience points to take him one 
  point above the next level). The user will gain 
  full hit points and benefits for the level gained. 
  This stone is very powerful and can easily be 
  used to take characters above racial maximums. 
  There are known to be super-charged versions 
  of this stone that add two levels, but only one of 
  these stones can ever be in use by a single 
  character at a time. (See #588 for a version that 
  is of benefit to multi-classed characters) 
  Optional rules:  
  A- For multi-classed characters they have the 
  power to raise the class level that requires the 
  most experience. 
   
  B- For the super-charged version they have the 
  power to raise all of the characters classes by one 
  level. (This even applies to characters with three 
  classes) 
   
  C- For a character with two classes they will boost 
  the current class by one level. 
  8 
  CLEAR SPINDLE (P) 
  Use of this IOUN stone sustains the user without food and water. Users who rely completely on this 
  stone to survive for long periods of time (one month or longer) will become thin, slowly losing muscle 
  mass. So it is recommended that this stone be used sparingly, or only in emergencies. 
  9 
  INCANDESCENT SPINDLE 
  (P) 
  This stone will sustain the user without air. This allows the user to survive in a vacuum, under water, or 
  even in a hostile environment of gas. This stone will not protect a character completely from caustic 
  effects of a Green Dragons breath weapon, but it will reduce the damage by half, thus a successful 
  save takes ¼ damage. 
  10 
  PEARLY WHITE SPINDLE 
  (P) 
  Use of this powerful IOUN stone allows the user 
  to regenerate 1 hit point per turn, up to a 
  maximum of 100 hit points per day. The stone 
  must be in use at the time damage is taken for it 
  to perform this function. (In my campaign any 
  device that regenerates a character can only 
  replace as many hit points as he starts with, per 
  day. Thus a character with a maximum of 35 hit 
  points can only regenerate 35 hit points per 
  day). There are super-charged stones which 
  regenerate 2 hit points per turn, but they are 
  quite rare, and they also follow the same 
  guidelines. (See IOUN stones #430 and #596 for 
  similar stones) 
   
   
  Regeneration times of this stone and any other 
  regenerative magic (slightly modified from basic 
  source material- Dragon Magazine # 263 page 23): 
   
  Beyond the ability to restore hit point damage, 
  this powerful IOUN stone can over time

  ELLIPSOID (T)  
  This powerful IOUN stone will absorb Magic Spells up to 4th level, protecting the user of the stone

  +10 to Psionic strength (50 points maximum can be gained from multiple stones). It is rumored that

  the Elemental Plane of Mineral; beings accustomed to the dangers along its border with the Positive 
  Material Plane. (See stone #245 for a related IOUN stone)

  opponents will become visible as soon as they enter the zone of protection. 
  17 
  ORANGE PRISM (P) 
  Spell casters using this IOUN stone will cast spells at +1 level of power. This does not in any way affect

  duration of their spells, based on level. (See # 194 for a similar, but more powerful stone) 
  18 
  BLUE & GREEN SPINDLE 
  (V/L) 
  This stone gives the user the Airy Water ability, as the spell, once per day for 3D4+3 rounds. This effect

  benefit from this stones power when it is activated. 
  19 
  BRASS LOZENGE (B) 
  This highly prized IOUN stone will add 2D4+2 temporary hit points to the user’s total. These additional 
  hit points will always be used before the owner of the stone loses any of his normal hit points. The

  will reroll each day for the new amount. Super-charged versions of this stone are known to exist, but 
  are extremely rare; they add 4D4+4 hit points to the user’s total. 
  20 
  BRIGHT SILVER

  device for their spirit if they are killed, allowing for a Raise Dead spell to bring them back from -10 hit 
  points and beyond. Stones of this type usually have only 2D4 charges before burning out. The user will 
  still suffer a loss of one point of Constitution when using this stone as per normal Raise Dead spell. 
  25 
  CLEAR PRISM (B) 
  Another highly prized IOUN stone, it can be used to store 2D3 levels of spells. These stored spells can 
  only be of 1st -2nd level, and no more than one of each spell can be stored. If the owner of the stone is 
  not a spell caster he is able to have either Cleric or Magic User spells cast directly into the IOUN stone 
  by another character. These spells can then be released from the IOUN stone by the user, regardless of 
  his class. These spells are released from the stone either at the level of the character that is attuned to 
  this stone, or at the level of the caster, whichever is lower. (I.e. a 9th level Magic Missile cast into a 
  stone owned by a third level fighter will have but two missiles instead of five) There are rumors of very 
  rare super-charged versions of this IOUN stone that can hold 3rd-4th level spells. 
  26 
  CLEAR SPHERE (P)

  With great care he measured the newly obtained IOUN stone, the feel of it 
  pulsing through his flesh during each examination. After a week of careful 
  observation he felt the first glimmer of what it could do…in his mind he could 
  see himself flying, the power of the stone lifting him from the ground…

  D100 IOUN Stone 
  Effect 
  101 
  GREEN HEXAGONAL ROD (V/L) 
  “The mimic stone” 
  The power of this IOUN stone is to duplicate the ability and appearance of any one stone 
  (chosen randomly from all available) that is already in use. Any IOUN stone in use by any 
  creature within 30’ when this stone is activated can be copied for the duration of 8 hours. This 
  stone is usable only once per week. If this IOUN stone copies a stone with multiple charges the 
  mimic stone will only have one charge.  
  102 
  RED FACETED EGG (P) 
  This IOUN stone gives its user a +1 to hit and damage for combat with both normal and magical 
  melee weapons (this does not include ranged weapons see stone #103). It does not affect a 
  magical weapons chance to hit certain creatures. (See #177 for a more powerful version of this 
  stone) 
  103 
  COBALT BLUE LOZENGE (P) 
  This IOUN stone gives its user a +1 to hit and damage for any form of normal or magical ranged 
  combat (this does not include melee weapons see stone #102). It does not affect a normal or 
  magical weapons chance to hit certain creatures. There are rumored to be super-charged 
  versions of this stone that add +2. 
  104 
  DEEP PURPLE HEXAGONAL 
  ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone gives its user Penetrating Gaze, allowing vision through up to 3 feet of earth 
  and stone, or 10 feet of wood. Vision through metal of any kind is not granted. The duration of 
  the effect is 1D3 rounds. This stone is usable once per day. A super-charged version allows 
  vision through 10’ of earth and stone or 20’ of wood. 
  105 
  RED FACETED CONE (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can reduce his actual body mass for 2D3+2 rounds, making his 
  weight a mere 10 pounds. This type of stone is usable once per week. 
  106 
  PEARL EGG (B) 
  The IOUN stone of Cantrip storing contains enough energy to power 2d3 magic user Cantrip or 
  clerical Orison effects per day. Characters of any class can use this stone. 
  107 
  SILVER & WHITE LOZENGE 
  (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone and all of his equipment can assume a gaseous wraith-like form, 
  once per day for D3 rounds. This power allows the user to pass through barriers by using the 
  smallest of cracks or holes. Only magic spells or magic weapons can strike a character that is in 
  wraith-form. 
  108 
  FLASHING YELLOW STAR (P) 
  Another of the more powerful IOUN stones, which is very rarely found. When in use, this stone 
  will absorb into itself any hit points that its user loses due to melee combat. As it gains hit points 
  it glows brighter until the user of the stone is reduced to 15 Hit Points or less. When this is 
  reached the Flashing Yellow Star will flare brightly, sending ½ of the stored life energy back into 
  its user. This stone will only function once per week. (See #259 for a related stone) 
  109 
  WHITE TETRAGONAL (V/L) 
   
  This IOUN stone is actually always found as a small cluster of small, identical stones orbiting a 
  central point. The number is constantly varying, as they have a tendency to phase in and out of 
  existence. When used, roll a D4 to determine how many are available at that time. Each small 
  stone has the power to enhance a single hand held melee weapon by +1. Thus if there are four 
  stones present the total bonus would be +4 for the duration. This power effects the characters 
  to hit and damage amount, is usable once per week, and when activated by the user the effect 
  has a random duration of 2D4+2 rounds. 
  110 
  RUBY RED LOZENGE (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can reduce damage from opponents spells by 1 point from each 
  damage die that is rolled (minimum of 1 point). This even includes reducing the damaging 
  attacks from spell-like devices. 
  111 
  DEEP BLUE SPINDLE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be used once per week, and has the power to telekinetically grab a single 
  normal or magical item (even from an opponent’s hand) within 30’. If the item is in a targets 
  hand, he receives a save versus Wands to block the attempt. The captured object moves at a 
  rate of 10’ per segment towards the user of this stone. 
  112 
  BLUE HEXAGONAL ROD (V/L) 
  “Displacement”  
  Users of this IOUN stone are displaced as per Cloak of Displacement. The stone can be used 
  once per week with the duration of 2D3 rounds. The displacement makes the first attack 
  automatically miss the user of this stone. 
  113 
  RED CATSEYE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be used once per week, automatically detecting any secret / hidden doors 
  within 30’, and within line of sight of the user. For a brief moment any such portal is outlined in 
  light blue light that is visible only to the user of the stone. 
  114 
  BLUE MULTI-FACETED 
  CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can accelerate the healing process, making each turn of complete 
  rest equal to an entire day of rest. The stone is usable once per week with a duration of 2D3+2 
  turns. This stone is really effective when used with stone #231. 
  
  27 | P a g e  
   
  115 
  DEEP RED TETRAGONAL (V/L) 
  Once per week for 1D3 rounds duration the user of this IOUN stone is partially immune to 
  damage from blunt weapons, both normal and magical. Any such attack will inflict ½ damage. 
  This does not affect natural creature attacks (claws, bites etc.), nor does it protect the user from 
  thrown boulders. 
  116 
  DEEP PURPLE DODECAHEDRON 
  (I) 
  This IOUN stone will bring into being a temporary Wall of Force 10’ feet high, which surrounds 
  the user in a cylinder with a 3’ radius. The stone is usable once per week for 2D3+2 rounds. A 
  Disintegrate spell will destroy the barrier; otherwise it will remain until either the duration ends, 
  or it is cancelled by the user. 
  117 
  YELLOW CUBE (V/L) 
  Upon command the user of this IOUN stone can increase his body mass up to 2,000 pounds, for 
  2D3 rounds. The function is usable once per week. Punching with a gauntleted fist when this 
  stone is activated will cause 1D4+8 damage, and any weapon will do an additional +6 damage 
  due to the mass of the hit. 
  118 
  ORANGE LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can shape 1D3 cubic feet of natural or cut stone as if it were clay for 
  up to 1D4+2 rounds, the user can end the effect at will or at the end of the effect the formed 
  stone retains the new shape, returning to the hardness of the original stone. This power can be 
  used once per week. 
  119 
  TURQUOISE ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can produce a flashing strobe which affects a 30’ radius. This bright flashing has 
  a chance to stun any creature of less than 4 hit dice for 1D4 rounds (this includes any creatures 
  friendly to the user). Save versus spells to cancel. This power can be used once per day, and it 
  does not affect creatures without eyes. 
  120 
  PURPLE MULTI-FACETED 
  CYLINDER (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone will create a pulsing electrical field that will inflict 2D6+2 damage per round to 
  any unprotected attacker within 5’. The field will last for 1D3 rounds. This power can be used 
  once per week. 
  121 
  BLUE TETRAGONAL(V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can produce a swarm of small crystal shards, 4 inches long, which will shoot 
  from the stone, attacking a chosen target. Because of their direct connection to the Mineral 
  Plane, they will ignore “constructed” armor, treating all such targets as having AC 10, modified 
  only by the targets Dexterity, and Rings of Protection. Most creatures will always have their 
  natural AC. The stone can produce a volley of 1D3+2 crystal shards once per week which will 
  each inflict 1D4+2 hit points of damage. The shards have a maximum range of 60’. After striking, 
  the shards will crumble into dust. 
  122 
  BRILLIANT GREEN MULTI-
  FACETED CYLINDER (P) 
  The “Changeling Stone” is an extremely powerful IOUN stone that constantly changes its color 
  and shape. Roll dice and consult the list of IOUN stones to see which stone it becomes since it 
  randomly changes its form every 24 hours. If it assumes the properties of a stone with limited 
  charges or uses, it can be used only once that day. If the changeling stone ever transforms into 
  #15 it could possibly permanently lose all of its powers. (See #15 for details on burned out IOUN 
  stones) 
  123 
  CLEAR LOZENGE (V/L) 
  Users of this IOUN stone can become Invisible for 2D3 rounds that is usable once per day. 
  However this effect is similar to Dust of Disappearance so attacks made by the user do not end 
  the Invisibility. 
  124 
  ORANGE SPINDLE (P) 
  “The Obscuring stone“ 
  When cast into the air this IOUN stone will turn invisible and along with it any other IOUN 
  stones that the user has in orbit. The user is still able to see all of his stones, but they are 
  undetectable by any other normal means. A Detect Magic spell will find but not identify cloaked 
  IOUN stones. 
  125 
  GREEN OCTAHEDRON (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone will gain the benefits of a +2 protection versus all lesser creatures 
  from the Outer Planes (demons, devils etc. of 6HD or less). It also grants a +2 on any saves 
  required against such creatures magical abilities. (See #387 for a much more powerful version 
  of this stone)  
  126 
  AMBER SPINDLE (V/L) 
  When activated, this IOUN stone will allow its user to Detect Invisible as per the spell for 1D3 
  rounds. The stone functions within a cone 60’ long, x 20’ at its base, and can be used once per

  133 
  BLUE FACETED PYRAMID (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can have up to three charges and each allows its user to bring into existence a 
  “shard lance”. This weapon is 4’ long, made of extremely hard crystal, is the equivalent to a +4 
  weapon to hit and damage. The lance does 2D4 + 4 hit points of damage to any sized creature, 
  and can be used in melee for 2d3 rounds as a spear. The shard lance can be hurled as a javelin 
  up to 60’. Because of their connection to the Mineral Plane, the lance will ignore armor, treating 
  all targets as having AC 10, modified only by the targets Dexterity, magical Bracers which modify 
  armor class, and Rings of Protection. If thrown, it vanishes after striking or missing its target. 
  The stone regains one charge per week to the maximum of three charges.  
  134 
  GREEN SMOOTH TORUS (T) 
  The “Protector” IOUN stone will attune itself to any single magic item chosen by the user. He

  item will immediately receive a second save. 
  135

  138 
  YELLOW CATSEYE (V/L) 
  “Stone Sense“.  
  This IOUN stone gives the user the entire Dwarf and Gnomes stone detection related abilities. If 
  used by a Dwarf or Gnome it adds +10% to all of his racial abilities. These abilities can be used at

  super-charged version of this IOUN stone is a permanent effect stone. 
  139 
  RUBY RED ROD (V/L) 
  When the limited shape changer IOUN stone is first attuned the owner makes a random roll for 
  4 different IOUN stones (exclude #400 if rolled). Every 24 hours this stone will randomly alter its 
  form making a complete change in shape and color acquiring the powers to one of the four 
  stones. Each owner rolls for different powers. If it changes into a stone with limited charges it 
  will have but one charge. There are rumored to be super-charged versions of this stone that can 
  shift into 6 different stones. If this stone ever transforms into #15 it could permanently lose all 
  of its powers. (See #15 for details on burned out IOUN stones)

  (V/L) 
  This is an extremely powerful IOUN stone that will temporarily shield its user from “Special 
  Power Weapons” (i.e. Sword of Sharpness, Sword of Wounding, Vorpal Sword etc.). Even

  141 
  INDIGO BLUE FACETED TORUS 
  (C)

  to stone. The stone can have 1D4 charges when found, and the short term effects will last for 
  only 1D3 rounds. The target is entitled to any magic resistance check, and saving throw versus 
  Wands to avoid the effect. Because of the strain of resistance, even a successful save indicates a 
  full round of hesitation. The stone will crumble once the last charge is used. 
  142 
  CLEAR CONNECTED SPHERES 
  (V/L) 
  “The Insubstantulizer”

  powerful version of this stone) 
  144 
  BLACK PRISM (V/L)

  are usable once per week. This IOUN stone is known as “The Drainer”. 
  145

  This is the IOUN stone of rapid travel. It allows the user to travel 1D3+1 “looks” of distance once 
  per week. From where you are standing look as far as you can in the direction you wish to 
  travel. That is a “look”. You and your equipment are instantly transported to that far away spot. 
  The “looks” can be used in a sequence, or rationed out over the week, but when a charge is 
  used it will take a full week for the stone to regain those energy reserves. You also must be able 
  to make out some details of your destination in order to make the “jump” safely. 
  146 
  PEARL WHITE FACETED 
  RECTANGLE (V/L)

  2D3 rounds, any damage taken by the user during this time, either by spell or combat, will be 
  taken from his now symbiotic “target”. (See #339 for a much more powerful version of this 
  stone) 
  147 
  PURPLE & LAVENDER 
  MULTIFACETED CYLINDER (T)

  out IOUN stones)

  156 
  BRIGHT WHITE SPHERE (V/L) 
   
  Once per week, for 3D4 rounds, the user of this powerful IOUN stone becomes infused with 
  massive amounts of positive energy, boosting his hit points to the maximum he could possibly 
  have for his level, including any current constitution bonuses, less any damage already taken. 
  Any damage received during this time is subtracted from any new hit points first. The super-
  charged version of this stone will allow a user to gain up to 150% of his maximum hit points.  
  157 
  LIME GREEN CYLINDER (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows the user to project his voice and thoughts in a powerful unworldly 
  effect, appearing as if the gods themselves are speaking in a 30’ radius. The user can ask a 
  question of the “heavens” and reply with his thoughts, the reply booming out of thin air in a 
  godly volume. Subjects are affected as by a powerful Charm or Command (save versus wands at 
  -4). The stone can be used once per week, with the duration of 2D3 rounds. 
  158 
  CLEAR SMOOTH EGG (V/L) 
  While using this IOUN stone each step taken on water will “solidify” the water in a 1’ area. Each 
  step lasts for one round, and is immovable, even if placed in a swift moving current. Thus a user 
  and any who follow can actually cross rivers, streams, and even small lakes with safety. The 
  stone is usable once per week, and for the duration of 1D3 turns. Anyone other than the user 
  travelling across the “ice footprints” must make a Dexterity check at a -2 to keep from falling.

  applies. The effects last for 2D3 rounds upon activation, and can be used once per week. It will 
  not reflect large area effect spells (Fireball, Ice Storm etc.) of any kind. It will affect a Lightning

  164 
  PALE LAVENDER SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can use the power contained within it as a spell battery. So instead 
  of having to tap directly into the Positive Material Plane, once per week it recharges, allowing

  There are rumors of super-charged versions of this IOUN stone that allow casting of up to 5th 
  level spells.

  version of this stone), (Campaign specific IOUN stone for my AD&D gaming group, allowing the 
  locating of the nearest hub-stone for the Zaeranni portal network. Reroll this result for your 
  campaign.)  
  166 
  INCANDESCENT CYLINDER (T)

  crystals that completely cover the user. The lattice is incredibly strong, conferring a +2 AC bonus 
  to the user. This stone is usable once per week, for 2D3+2 rounds duration. For the duration the 
  user is also +1 strength / and movement is increased by +3”/ and the crystal lattice absorbs 5 hit

  168 
  SILVERY MIRRORED 
  DODECAHEDRON (V/L) 
  Once per week for 2D3 rounds this IOUN stone creates a shimmering curtain…a swirling cloud 
  of translucent planes of force; colorful, rapidly shifting, sharp edged panes of energy that

  the attack.  
  172 
  RAINBOW TWISTED 
  HEXAGONAL ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be used once a week to create an obscuring wall of sharp edged, sand grain 
  sized crystals that will violently swirl around the user for 2D3+2 rounds. The user is -2 for being

  cloud to make an attack will automatically take 2D4+2 hit points of damage, and must save 
  versus Wands or be blinded for D3 rounds.

  179 
  SILVERY MIRRORED 
  HEXAGONAL ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates an illusionary image of the user, while causing the user himself to 
  become invisible (improved invisibility). As long as the user remains in one place the image will 
  perform as desired (moving, exploring, etc). The user can “see” through the illusions eyes, and 
  cast spells that will seem to originate from the illusion (Project Image). Any damage inflicted on 
  the illusion will cause it to be dispelled. The stone is usable once per week, and has a duration 
  of 1D3+2 rounds. 
  180 
  DEEP PURPLE SPINDLE (V/L)

  within 20’ for 2D3 rounds. The attack is made as a normal melee attack at the user’s level, doing

  to escape, failure indicates the victim is ensnared for the duration of the effect. This stone is 
  usable once per day. 
  181 
  BLACK ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone called Tildun’s Transposer allows a Magic User to alter the magical energies he 
  has studied. With this stone the spell energy may be redefined to allow casting of a different 
  spell of the same level or lower (i.e. a mage who memorized a Fly spell could redefine the 
  energies to cast a Slow spell instead). Material components are not created for the new spell, so 
  the caster must provide any that are needed. Super-charged versions will allow the altering of 
  spells up to 5th level. The stone is usable once per week. 
  182 
  DARK GREEN FACETED 
  RECTANGLE (V/L)

  the shield is shattered. The shield is large enough to protect the user or one chosen target 
  within 10’ of the user. The shield will protect against direct spell damage of any kind. The stone 
  is usable once per week, with the effect lasting for 2D3 rounds. 
  183 
  PALE YELLOW CUBE (V/L)

  rounds. Super-charged versions give a +3 bonus. 
  184

  (V/L) (I) 
  Once per week the IOUN stone of anti-magic can be used to create an anti-magic area with a 5’ 
  radius centered on the user for 2D3 rounds. Spells and spell-like effects, including those 
  generated by magic items, do not function in this area for the duration. This stone does not 
  destroy magical effects, only mutes them for the duration. Even the powers of other IOUN 
  stones cannot work when this stone is in use. 
  187 
  TURQUOISE CUBE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows its user to Detect Magic, as per the 1st level Magic User spell cast at 6th 
  level on items once per day. Super charged versions work as the same spell cast at 12th level. 
  188 
  WHITE SPINDLE (V/L) 
  When activating the power of this IOUN stone a glow of positive energy can be caused to 
  surround the user in a 5’ radius. This power can be employed once per week for D3+2 rounds, 
  and forms a protection from negative energy, preventing the life draining touch attacks by 
  undead and some energy draining spells. Any Undead creatures touching such a field receive 
  3D6+3 damage. 
  189 
  LAVENDER RECTANGLE (I) 
  When activating the power of this IOUN stone the user is surrounded by a deflection field that 
  affects normal missile attacks (arrows, bolts, darts, and sling attacks, including types of these 
  weapons that are magically enhanced) by a -2. This field is not powerful enough to deflect large 
  missile weapon attacks (i.e. giant hurled boulders, ballista). The duration is 2D3 rounds, and the 
  stone is usable once per week.

  190 
  DUSTY ROSE LOZENGE (I) 
  This powerful IOUN stone, known as the spell ripper, allows the user to possibly disrupt a spell 
  that is being cast within 30’. The power is only usable once per week on targets 60’ or less away 
  from the user. Unless a successful save versus Wands is made by the victim this stone cancels 
  the spells effect as the gathering magical energy is shredded. This stone has a 50% chance to 
  crumble after its first use, with a +10% modifier for each additional use. 
  191 
  DEEP PURPLE CONNECTED 
  SPHERES (P) 
  When employing the power of this IOUN stone the user is ambidextrous, gaining all of the 
  advantages of this skill. 
  192 
  DAZZLING WHITE SPINDLE (B) 
  This IOUN stone is one of the most sought after of items. This stone has the ability to augment 
  hit points by an additional +2 per level of the user. A super-charged version will boost hit points 
  by +3 per level. 
  193 
  AMBER FACETED TORUS (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone grants the user one opportunity attack per week. This is an additional attack, 
  with an extra +2 to hit and damage. The super-charged version of this stone will do full 
  maximum damage on a successful hit, and will do triple the rolled damage if a 20 is rolled. 
  194 
  PALE LAVENDER PRISM (I) (T) 
  The IOUN stone of spell augmentation is much sought by wizards for the power that it lends to 
  their spells. Once per week for one spell cast this stone has the ability to boost the power of the 
  spell by +2 per die rolled, or by increasing the spells area effect and duration by 25%. Only spells 
  of 3rd level or less can be amplified by this stone. Supercharged versions of this stone can affect 
  spells of 4th through 7th level. This stone has a 50% chance to crumble after its first use with a 
  +10% modifier for each additional use. 
  195 
  DEEP RED CUBE (V/L) 
  Once per week the IOUN stone of gem and mineral detection can be used to indicate distance 
  and approximate value of such treasures within a range of 100 feet. This power detects such 
  materials only in their raw, un-worked form. 
  196 
  BROWN LOZENGE (I) 
  This IOUN stone can be used to create a dense rocky covering over the wearer for 1D3+2 rounds 
  once per week. This “shell” gives a +2 AC adjustment for the duration and can absorb 20 hit 
  points of damage before the shell crumbles into a fine dust. However when so protected the 
  users movement is halved and any adjustments for dexterity are lost for the duration of the 
  effect. 
  197 
  PULSING RED FACETED 
  RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  “The Jewelers Stone” 
  The IOUN stone of gem enhancement is highly prized by adventurers. The power of this stone 
  can be used to remove small flaws and imperfections, thus increasing the value of a single 
  chosen gem by 50%, once per week. Any gem can only be augmented once. 
  198 
  AMBER MULTI-FACETED 
  CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of plasticity is usable once per week, and the effects last for 2D3 rounds. This 
  stone will cause the surrounding stone in a 10’ radius to sprout 1D4+1 sharp edged, stony 
  tendrils that will strike at a single selected target. The tendrils have the following stats: HD 4 / 
  HP 16 / AC 2 / 1 attack per tendril / 2D3 damage, count as a +1 magic weapon in regards to 
  which creatures can be struck. These tendrils cannot be made to immobilize or ensnare a target. 
  199 
  SLATE BLUE ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  Once per week the IOUN stone of stone liquefying can be used to create an unusual effect. An 
  area of 10’ x 10’ within 30’ of the user is turned to cold liquid stone for 2D3 rounds. Anyone 
  standing within the area must save versus Wands to jump away from the effect or sink D3’ into 
  the soft rock. Those stuck can move at -2” speed for each foot that they sink, and they must 
  make a successful save each round or sink an additional D3’. Anyone within the area at the end 
  of the effect will be stuck or sealed within the now re-solidified rock.

  BRIGHT SILVER TWISTED 
  HEXAGONAL ROD (P) (I) 
  IOUN stone of time saving is a very powerful stone that will save one second per day, storing 
  that second for use on a later day. Although it may not seem like much, over time it can add up. 
  One minute of time can be saved in a two month period (60 days) or just a little over six minutes 
  can be saved in a year. The user can access the time, using up the seconds to perform actions 
  “between the seconds of real time”. The user is able to perform one standard action (move, 
  shoot 1 arrow, perform 1 melee attack etc.) for each 30 seconds of time that is used. The 
  casting of a spell is even possible, as long as the required numbers of segments of time (ten 
  second intervals) are available. Most times these stones are found to contain 2D4+2 seconds of 
  time already stored. 
  (Thinking about putting a limit onto the amount of time that can be stored...)

  Why should he fear what lurked in the dark places; for surely the power within 
  the IOUN stones would enable him to prevail over all obstacles…

  Table #3 - IOUN stones #201-#300 - Detailed 
  D100 IOUN Stone 
  Effect 
  201 
  FLASHING YELLOW PRISM 
  (V/L) 
  Once per week the power of this IOUN stone can bring into existence 1D3 bands of glowing 
  crystal. They will encircle a single man-sized or smaller target within 20’, unless the victim makes 
  a save versus Wands against each separate band. Each band will pin the victim’s arms and only a 
  special break attempt can be made to escape. One band = 30% chance, 2 bands = 20% chance, 
  three bands = 10% chance. The bands exist for D4+2 rounds before crumbling into dust. 
  202 
  MAROON CYLINDER (I) (V/L) 
  Once per week the IOUN stone of teleport tracking allows the user to “hitch-hike” a ride via any 
  Teleport spell that is used within 60’. The user is able to either complete the teleport or the stone 
  gives the user the option of obtaining a brief view of the destination of a Teleport and returning 
  to his former location. He may then use his own spell to Teleport to the location at another time. 
  203 
  EMERALD GREEN ROD (I) 
  (V/L) 
  When the IOUN stone of silence is used, the target of this stone is muted, unable to speak or 
  make any sound, for 1D3 rounds. This stone is usable once per week, on a target within 30”. The 
  target gets a save versus Wands at a -2 to nullify the effects. 
  204 
  RUBY RED SMOOTH EGG (I) 
  (P) 
  The IOUN stone of anti-corrosion is a quite helpful stone. This stones power protects the wearer 
  and his entire inventory of items from any form of corrosive attack...i.e. Rust Monster, acid, 
  either from a natural attack or spell attack. However, this protection does not work against the 
  massive amounts of corrosive bile from a Black Dragons breath weapon. 
  205 
  BLOOD RED LOZENGE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of hesitation can be very useful in times of pressure. The target of this stones 
  powers must make a base save versus Wands with no modifiers, or suffer 3D4+2 segments of 
  hesitation, possibly losing his actions for the round, or delaying the casting of a spell. This stone is 
  usable once per week. 
  206 
  INCANDESCENT FACETED 
  CONE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the forge-master is of great value to those with the ability to create weapons, 
  and it is highly prized by Dwarven artisans and other makers of magical weapons. This stone is 
  able to focus the raw power of the Positive Material Plane and can create a ray of “fire” that can 
  be used to melt and work even the hardest of metals (such as Mithril and Dragon hide). The ray 
  lasts for “x” rounds, with each round causing a temporary loss of 1 point of constitution to the 
  forger. Once constitution of five is reached a save versus spells is taken, failure meaning the user 
  passes out. It takes a full day to recover each point of drained constitution. Each round of this 
  pure heat adds +3% to the chance of success in the enchantment of the forged item. 
  207 
  VIBRANT PURPLE CATSEYE (P) 
  The IOUN stone of “obedience “is an unusual stone that herds all other IOUN stones in use by its 
  possessor “out of harm’s way”. The affected stones will always keep the users body between 
  them and any attacks, giving them an additional +1 on any required saving throw, and imposing a 
  penalty of -2 on any attempt to attack or grab such protected IOUN stones. 
  208 
  PALE TURQUOISE PRISM (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of metal repulsion causes all ferrous metal, other than what the possessor is 
  wearing or carrying to be repulsed, and is unable to approach within 5’ of the user. Thus swords 
  will be turned aside, and metal tipped projectiles will veer away from the user. The effect is very 
  short in duration, lasting for only 1D3 rounds, and is usable once per week. 
  209 
  COPPER FACETED PYRAMID 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone grants protection from natural heat sources and allows the user to even walk on 
  molten lava. It grants +2 on saves from flames generated by creatures (hell hounds, pyro-hyda, 
  and dragon’s breath) or spells (Fireball, Burning Hands), reducing damage from these attacks by 
  1/2. The stone is usable once per week with a duration of 2D3+2 rounds. 
  210 
  LIGHT BLUE ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be used to increase the gravity within its area of effect, which extends 10’ 
  from the user. The stone is usable once per week and the effect lasts D3+2 rounds. A D6 roll 
  determines the gravitational increase (a roll of 6 means 6 times normal gravity, and a -6 save 
  modifier). Creatures in the area must save versus Wands at a minus equal to the increase, or they 
  will drop to the ground and be unable to move or perform any actions until the effect ends. 
  211 
  FLICKERING SPINDLE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of Breath Weapon Absorption-Cold will protect the user only, by absorbing up to 
  100 points of cold breath damage from any source before transforming into #30. The user rolls 10 
  x D10 to determine the amount of major protection remaining. (See #30-Flickering snowflake) 
  212 
  BRIGHT SILVER SPINDLE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of Breath Weapon Absorption-Electricity will protect the user only, by absorbing 
  up to 100 points of electrical breath damage from any source before transforming into #41. The 
  user rolls 10 x D10 to determine the amount of major protection remaining. (See #41-Silver rod) 
  213 
  BRIGHT WHITE SPINDLE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of Breath Weapon Absorption- Acid will protect the user only, by absorbing up to 
  100 points of acid breath damage from any source before transforming into #21. The user rolls 10 
  x D10 to determine the amount of major protection remaining. (See #21-Bright white rectangle) 
  
  37 | P a g e  
   
  214 
  PULSING RED SPINDLE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of Breath Weapon Absorption-Fire will protect the user only, by absorbing up to 
  100 points of fire-breath damage from any source before transforming into #38. The user rolls 10 
  x D10 to determine the amount of major protection remaining. (See #38-Pulsing red star) 
  215 
  GREEN SPINDLE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of Breath Weapon Absorption-Gas will u protect the user only, by absorbing up 
  to 100 points of gaseous breath damage from any source before transforming into #32. The user 
  rolls 10 x D10 to determine the amount of major protection remaining. (See #32-Green sphere) 
  216 
  TWISTED PURPLE 
  HEXAGONAL ROD (V/L)  
   
  The IOUN stone of magical disruption is sought after by many adventurers. Once per week, when 
  the power is activated a single spell using target within 30’ can be affected. The target must make 
  a base save versus Wands, or have the next spell he casts is “twisted” becoming a random casting 
  from his available memorized spells of the same level or less. This power does not affect any 
  naturally gained magical abilities. 
  217 
  PULSING GREEN SPHERE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of telekinesis is usable once per week, and it allows the user to move objects 
  with his mind. The weight allowed is 200GP per point of intelligence (3,600GP or 360 pounds 
  maximum at 18 IQ). Intelligence over 18 will allow an additional 300GP per point. Speed of 
  telekinetic movement is 30’ per round, with the duration of the effects being 2D3 rounds. 
  218 
  PALE LAVENDER SPHERE (P) 
  The single spell IOUN stone can be used to hold one spell. Roll a D8 for the level of the spell that 
  can be stored for Magic Users and a D6 for Clerics to determine the level of the spell that can be 
  stored. Once the chosen spell is placed it cannot be changed, the power of this stone will allow it 
  to be cast once per day for 1st-2nd level spells, once per week for 3rd-5th level and once per 
  month for higher level spells. The major benefit however is that the chosen spell will be cast at 
  full effectiveness, and no material component is required. 5% of stones of this type will already 
  have a spell stored within their matrix. 
  219 
  PALE YELLOW FACETED LENS 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone gives the user a base save versus Wands to be able to see through any 
  illusion/Phantasm spell or effect for 2D3 rounds, including such spells as Mirror Image. The stone 
  is usable once per week on illusions within 30’. While concentrating to initiate this stones power 
  no other action is possible for the first round. 
  220 
  LAVENDER SMOOTH EGG 
  (V/L) 
  The “Empath” IOUN stone allows a character to touch an injured target, and transfer some of his 
  hit points thus “healing” the target by taking a part of the damage onto himself. The maximum 
  transference possible is 3D4+3 hit points, and the stone is usable once per week. Roll the dice 
  then subtract that number of hit points from the user of the stone (the stone will not take its user 
  below 10 hit points) and add the same amount to the damaged individual. There are rumored to 
  be super-charged versions of this stone which allow the transference of 6D4+6 hit points.  
  221 
  PINK SPINDLE (V/L) 
  Superior Constitution 
  The user of this IOUN stone can activate its power once per week for 2D3+2 rounds, it grants an 
  effective Constitution of 24 for any required checks, gaining all abilities normally obtained with 
  such a high score, including a temporary boost to hit points. 
  222 
  DEEP RED SPINDLE (V/L) 
  Superior Dexterity 
  The user of this IOUN stone can activate its power once per week for 2D3+2 rounds, it grants an 
  effective Dexterity of 24 for any required checks, gaining all abilities normally obtained with such 
  a high score. 
  223 
  PALE BLUE SPINDLE (V/L) 
  Superior Strength

  effective Strength of 24 for any required checks, gaining all abilities normally obtained with such 
  a high score. 
  224 
  SCARLET & BLUE SPINDLE 
  (V/L) 
  Superior Intelligence 
  The user of this IOUN stone can activate its power once per week for 2D3+2 rounds, it grants an 
  effective Intelligence of 24 for any required checks, gaining all abilities normally obtained with 
  such a high score. 
  225 
  INCANDESCENT BLUE 
  SPINDLE (V/L) 
  Superior Wisdom

  226 
  PINK AND GREEN SPINDLE 
  (V/L) 
  Superior Charisma

  effective Charisma of 24 for any required checks, gaining all abilities normally obtained with such 
  a high score. 
  
  38 | P a g e  
   
  227 
  RUBY RED ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  The power of this IOUN stone can be used to cause a weapon held by the wearer to become 
  wreathed in flames. The fire will cause the weapon to inflict an additional 1D6 points of damage 
  on a successful attack. The flames can be created once per week for 2D4 rounds duration. 
  228 
  COBALT BLUE TEARDROP 
  (V/L) 
  Anyone attempting to target the user of this IOUN stone with either missile fire or direct magical 
  attack must first make a successful save versus Spells or they will completely fail to notice the 
  user. He is not invisible, he is just un-noticeable, and will thus be ignored as long as he takes no 
  hostile actions. The stone may be activated once per week, and the effect lasts for 2D3+2 rounds. 
  229 
  MAROON ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
   
  The IOUN stone of tunneling will allow the user to create a 3’ diameter tunnel through any 
  natural rock. The tunnel can be up to 30’ long, and will last for 1D6 turns. The stone is usable 
  once per week. The super-charged version of this stone will make a tunnel 5” in diameter for 60’ 
  that has the same duration. 
  230 
  DEEP PURPLE FACETED LENS 
  (T) (V/L) 
  Once per week any creature using the IOUN stone of massive impact is capable of inflicting a 
  devastating single attack against creatures with equal or fewer hit dice than the user. When 
  activated the power remains for a maximum of 2D3 rounds, and is discharged by a single 
  successful strike with a blunt weapon in melee combat. This stone has a 50% chance to crumble 
  after its first use with a +10% modifier for each additional use. Roll percentage dice on the 
  following chart for the amount of extra damage that is inflicted: 
   
  01 
  +4 damage 
  02-25 
  +6 damage 
  26-50 
  +8 damage 
  51-85 
  +10 damage, save versus paralyzation or stunned for D3 rounds 
  86-95 
  +12 damage, save versus spells or stunned for 2D3 rounds 
  96-99 
  +16 damage, stunned for 2D4+2 rounds (no save except MR) 
  100

  exposed to natural sunlight for at least one hour during that day. 
  232 
  PALE BLUE SMOOTH EGG (I) 
  Once per week the IOUN stone of retribution can be used to duplicate one single attack worth of 
  damage suffered by the user, and inflict an equal amount on the attacker. Damage caused by any 
  form of spell, or weapon attack that inflicts “hit points” of damage can be duplicated. Any magical 
  strength bonuses or pluses of damage due to strength are also duplicated, but not special powers 
  (Sharpness, Wounding, and Vorpal etc). The duplication must take place immediately after the 
  attack, and the user of the stone must still be above “0” hit points for the stone to function. The 
  target of the retribution can make a save versus Wands at -2 to completely avoid the effect. The 
  stone has a 50% chance to crumble whenever 30+ points are taken, with a +10% modifier each 
  time a similar amount of damage occurs.  
  233 
  BRIGHT GREEN RECTANGLE 
  (V/L)

  RUBY RED PRISM (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can be used once per week to produce a ray of fire that can strike 
  one target within 30’. The fire-ray will inflict 2D6+2 hit points of damage, save versus Wands for 
  half damage. Flammable targets will be ignited on a failed save causing 2d6 hit points of damage 
  on the next round. The super-charged form of this IOUN stone can inflict 4D6+3 points of 
  damage. 
  238 
  PALE BLUE CUBE (P) 
  This IOUN stone can be used to create an extra-dimensional storage space that can hold many 
  objects. The area created is a 1’ crystalline cube that will appear in mid-air upon command. The

  reduction: 
   
  01-10 
  2 points of reflection 
  11-15 
  4 points of reflection

  transformed into a pleasant tasting fluid. 
  241 
  BRIGHT SILVER FACETED 
  LENS (I)  
  One of the classes of “twinned” IOUN stones this is a quite valuable asset to any adventuring 
  group. These IOUN stones are always found in pairs and only one of the pair can be used by a 
  single character. Once per week the user of one of these stones can travel through a dimensional 
  portal to the second stones location. Both must be within 100’ and within line of site for the 
  stones power to function. 
  242 
  RED SMOOTH HELIX (V/L) 
  Once per day this IOUN stone can be used in an attempt to “Volley” a directed spell that has been 
  directed at the user, back upon its caster. This stone will not influence area effect spells. The user 
  of the stone receives a save versus Wands to reflect the spell; if successful the spell caster must 
  save versus Wands to avoid the spell. If both succeed in their save attempts the spell vanishes 
  inflicting no damage. 
  243 
  LAVENDER & GREEN STAR 
  (V/L) 
  Using the power contained within this IOUN stone a spell caster can reduce the casting time of 
  one spell a day by ½. Super-charged versions can affect two spells per day. 
  244 
  COBALT BLUE FACETED 
  HELIX (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone will create a “crystal rope” that is 1” in diameter and up to 60’ long. The rope is 
  capable of holding 1000 pounds of weight, and will hold itself immovable where placed. The 
  stone can be used once per week, and the rope remains for 2D3+2 rounds before it will crumble 
  into dust. 
  245 
  GLOWING ROSE STAR (V/L) 
  Known as the “repair” IOUN stone, this potent crystal is much sought after by many adventurers. 
  If placed into orbit with a burned out IOUN stone, it will transfer its energy, slowly bringing the 
  #15 Dull Grey Stone back to “life”. The original color returns to normal within one week and any 
  small cracks within the stones matrix are repaired. The battery stone then has a base 50% chance 
  that it will crumble and vanish, modified by +10% per use. IOUN stones with multiple charges will 
  have a 1 charge maximum capacity when repaired by this stone.  
  246 
  GREEN FACETED TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates a small extra-planar conduit to the Elemental Plane of Water, bringing a 
  stream of up to 100 gallons of fresh clear water into existence. The stone can be used once per 
  week, with the water remaining until natural evaporation occurs or until it is consumed. 
  247 
  SMOOTH PALE LAVENDER 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  This IOUN stones power is rather unusual in that it creates a temporary, crystalline duplicate of 
  the user. The “crystal doppelganger” can be formed once per week, for the duration of 2D3 
  rounds. It will move under the control of the user and can be made to perform simple 
  tasks…walk, open…lift…etc, with the same chances of success as the stones owner. The 
  doppelganger cannot perform any kind of combat attack, and if it receives more than 10 hit 
  points of damage of any sort it will slowly crumble and vanish. 
  248 
  WHITE FACETED TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone is immune to all touch based Paralysis and Petrification attacks, from 
  both spells and creatures. The stone is usable once per week, and once activated the protection 
  lasts for 2D3+2 rounds.

  a successful strike. The stone is usable once per week and will make D3+1 attacks before 
  returning to orbit the user. 
  250 
  CLEAR SMOOTH TORUS (V/L) 
  Known as the “Chiller” this is a low powered IOUN stone which can be used once per week to 
  lower the air temperature in a 10’ radius of the user by 20 degrees, to a minimum of 32 degrees 
  Fahrenheit (freezing). It can also reduce the temperature of up to ten gallons of fluid by 30 
  degrees; both uses for the duration of 2D3 turns. (See #258 for a more powerful version of this 
  stone) 
  
  40 | P a g e  
   
  251 
  PEARL WHITE ROD (I)  
  The user of one of these “twinned” IOUN stones can cast spells as if standing at the location of 
  the second stone as long as both are within 60’ and in line of sight (see Project Image). These 
  IOUN stones are always found in pairs and only one of the pair can be used by a single character. 
  The effect is usable once per week for the duration of 2D3 rounds. 
  252 
  CLEAR FACETED HELIX (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the unstable flux is a fickle and possibly dangerous stone, some even consider 
  it to be border-line cursed. It can be used once per week to augment a single cast spell. The spell 
  must be of a type that inflicts actual hit points of damage (Lightning Bolt, Fireball, and Magic 
  Missile etc.). Roll a D20 on the following chart for the effect: 
   
  1 
  Spell backfires - Roll % dice:  
  on 01%-85% the spell energy drains away 
  on a 86%-100% the spell goes off using the caster as the target point  
  2-10 
  add +1 level to the casting power of the spell 
  11-15 
  add +2 levels to casting power of the spell 
  16-18 
  add +3 levels to casting power of the spell 
  19 
  spell works at maximum effect (no dice roll is needed) 
  20 
  spell works at double effect (roll of dice x 2) 
   
  253 
  DEEP PURPLE CATSEYE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be quite deadly. Once per week for 2D3 rounds it can be used to create a 
  vacuum of airless space in a 10’ radius surrounding and moving with the user. The zone of 
  airlessness can protect the user from sound based attack forms. The user of the stone is safe in a 
  small bubble of air that moves with him for the duration of the effect. 
  254 
  DEEP RED FACETED HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  This stone grants the power of 60’ ultra-vision to its user. It doubles the range of this ability for 
  those who already possess it. This is a permanent effect stone. 
  255 
  PALE YELLOW FACETED 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone and his equipment can assume an amorphic form (Black Pudding, 
  Gelatinous Cube, etc.) once a week for 2D3 rounds. In this jelly-like state he can squeeze through 
  gaps of as small as half an inch with a movement rate of 10’ per round. While in this form the 
  user does not gain any of the amorphs special attack forms, but any edged weapons will inflict 
  only ½ damage. 
  256 
  LAVENDER CATSEYE (P) 
  The Mineral Plane portal IOUN stone is one of the long duration stones, allowing the user to shift 
  to the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral for 2d6+2 turns. The stone will protect the user from all 
  of the effects of that strange realm, and will also allow very basic communication with its more 
  intelligent inhabitants, who will treat the user favorably. 
  257 
  DEEP BLACK SMOOTH 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can detect the presence of all magical auras either within a 30’ 
  radius, or on a single target within 60’. It will allow the detection of creatures protected by all 
  forms of Invisibility, Dust of Disappearance, the various Protection spells, Globes of 
  Invulnerability and “barrier” spells like Stoneskin. The effect lasts for 2D3 rounds and is usable 
  once per week. 
  258 
  VIBRANT PURPLE ROD (V/L) 
  Once per week this IOUN stone can be used to create a freezing cold area with a 20’ radius 
  around the user. The air temperature will drop to zero degrees Celsius, and any water in the area 
  will instantly freeze to a depth of 6’. All surfaces are covered with a thin layer of ice. Brown mold 
  is killed by this effect. The temperature will slowly return to normal taking 2D3 turns, even in the 
  hottest of environments. 
  259 
  YELLOW SMOOTH HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  Usable once per week this IOUN stone is much prized by adventurers. If the user is in danger of 
  death from a bleeding injury and reaches -9 hit points, the stone will release a pulse of Positive 
  energy restoring him to 1 hit point (modified Deaths Door). It will not be able to save a character 
  that is damaged beyond -10 from an attack. This stone has a 50% chance to crumble after its first 
  use with a +10% modifier for each additional use. 
  260 
  PALE BLUE SMOOTH TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  Once per week the user of this IOUN stone can make a small volume of metal (up to 100 pounds) 
  as soft and pliable as thick taffy for 1D4 +2 rounds: adding +40% to any bend bars check. 
  261 
  BLUE SMOOTH HELIX (V/L) 
  These IOUN stones are quite unique and are always found in pairs, usable by two different 
  characters allowing them to communicate with each other telepathically; as long as they are both 
  on the same Plane of Existence. This contact has a duration of 2D4 rounds, and is usable once per 
  week. 
  262 
  BRIGHT ROSE SMOOTH 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of size alteration allows the user to reduce or increase his size by up to 25%; 
  once per week with the effect lasting 2D3+2 rounds. The super-charged version of this stone 
  allows a 50% alteration of size. (See #476 for a more powerful version of this stone) 
  
  41 | P a g e  
   
  263 
  GREEN SMOOTH HELIX (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Empathy Alteration can allow the user to sense the feelings being sent out by 
  the target. He can then attempt to alter these feelings (turn hatred into indifference for 
  example). This is usable once per week and the victim receives a saving throw versus Wands to 
  avoid the effect. 
  264 
  YELLOW SMOOTH TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  Once per week the IOUN stone of “Mind-walking” allows the user to Probability Travel 1D3 
  rounds into the future. The user sends his mental self ahead and can sense whatever it 
  experiences, thus possibly changing a course of action.  
  265 
  RAINBOW DODECAHEDRON 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of gravitational orientation allows the user to walk up walls and across ceilings. 
  He can orient himself, and freely move in any direction that he chooses. This movement is at ½ 
  the normal rate (12” of movement becomes 6” when using the stone). It is usable once per week 
  with a duration of 2D4+2 rounds. 
  266 
  DARK GREEN ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of merging allows the user to “fuse” two non-living items together by touch. This 
  could be used to mend a non-magical item, or seal a doorway. The fused items must be touching, 
  and must be of similar material (a sleeve could be fused with a shirt for example). Any attempt to 
  fuse items held or worn by a living creature will fail if a save versus Wands is made by the 
  recipient. The stone is usable once per week and the fusing takes one round to be complete with 
  the fusion lasting for 2D4+4 rounds. 
  267 
  DARK ORANGE CUBE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of magic dispelling has a variable chance to nullify a single magical effect within 
  20’ of the user. Once per week it has a chance to Dispel Magic as per the spell but with a random 
  chance, and always at the stated percentage (i.e. no modification by the target spells casting 
  level). If cast upon any item with permanency the stones power will merely nullify the magic for 
  the duration of 2d4+2 rounds. Roll percentage dice and consult the following chart for each use: 
   
  01-25 
  15% 
  26-50 
  20% 
  51-75 
  25% 
   76-95 
  30% 
  96-100 
  35% 
   
  268 
  PALE GREEN FACETED HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone, regardless of his class has the THACO of a fighter equal to their level. 
  The effect is usable once per week and lasts for 2D4+2 rounds. A fighter, ranger, paladin or 
  cavalier using this IOUN stone has a +1 THACO for 4D3 +3 rounds upon activating this stone. 
  269 
  CLEAR FACETED TORUS (V/L) 
  IOUN stones of this kind function in all ways as one of the Baern Stones that can control the 
  functioning of the Zaeranni Portals. Stones of this type can only be used once per week to access 
  the Portal of Worlds network. What makes this IOUN stone more powerful is that it allows the 
  user to navigate once within the Portal. (See#165 for the less powerful version of this stone), 
  (Campaign specific IOUN stone for my AD&D gaming group, allowing the locating of the nearest 
  hub-stone for the Zaeranni portal network)  
  270 
  BRIGHT GREEN HEXAGONAL 
  ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of “muting” will act as a lower form of the Clerics Silence spell in an area that 
  affects the user only. Once per week for the duration of 2D4+2 rounds the stone can make any 
  loud noise made in a 20’ area to be but a whisper of sound that will travel no more than 10’. 
  271 
  PEARL WHITE TEARDROP 
  (V/L) 
  The users of these two “twinned” IOUN stones can exchange their melee abilities for the duration 
  of the effect once per week. This exchange is of the base THACO only, with no magical bonuses 
  being transferred. The duration of the exchange is 2D3 rounds and the users must be within 60’ 
  and line of sight for the effect to function. These IOUN stones are always found in pairs and only 
  one can be used by a single character. 
  272 
  MARBLED BLUE & WHITE 
  CYLINDER (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is able to transforms itself into flat crystal disc 3’ in diameter that the user, along 
  with up to 200 pounds of other equipment, can use to move through the air at a speed of 60’ per 
  round. The user is gravitationally bound to the disc and receives a save versus poison to remain 
  attached if attacked. The disc can remain transformed for 3D4+3 rounds before returning to its 
  original form. The function can be used once per week. 
  273 
  DEEP RED ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone will place a field of force over any hand held weapon. On a successful strike the 
  weapon does an additional +6 damage. The stone is usable once per week, and the effect lasts for 
  2D3 rounds. 
  
  42 | P a g e  
   
  274 
  STEEL CUBE (P) 
  The IOUN stone of animal control works once per week and allows the user to influence up to 8 
  HD of the following types of animals (birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, and insects). The creatures 
  only receive a saving throw if they are of average or greater intelligence. The control is for the 
  duration of 2D3 rounds, and the creatures controlled cannot be made to do anything that will 
  directly cause them harm. 
  275 
  CLEAR SMOOTH HELIX (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Molecular Control will allow the user to change up to one pound of solid 
  material into ½ pound of another. The stone is usable once per week, and the transformation 
  takes 3 rounds of complete concentration. The user can only change materials into forms that he 
  has touched while the stone has been attuned to him (if you have never touched gold while the 
  stone has been in “orbit”, then you can’t make gold). 
  276 
  CERELEAN BLUE RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone, also known as the “Druids Stone” can accelerate all plant growth within a 30’ 
  radius. Once per week for 2D3+2 rounds any plants within the area of effect will grow at a rate of 
  one month’s growth per round. Many Druids prize this stone for the power to establish the heart 
  of their grove. The super-charged version of this stone accelerates the growth rate to 1 year per 
  round. 
  277 
  LAVENDER & GREEN 
  FACETED EGG (T) 
  This IOUN stone, known as the “recharge-stone” is very highly prized by adventurers. Once per 
  week this stone slowly gathers a charge of Positive energy. If the stone is placed in contact with a 
  Wand, Staff, or Rod, the gathered energy will flow into the device giving it one additional charge. 
  The device affected must have at least one charge and this stone is only able to charge an item to 
  a maximum of 4 charges. The spell effect it is renewing must also be of 4th level or less or the 
  attempt will fail. Perhaps this stones most potent use is its ability to recharge another IOUN stone 
  allowing the second stone to be used more frequently.  
  278 
  PEARL WHITE SMOOTH 
  TORUS (P)  
  The owner of this IOUN stone has a +1 on any saving throws allowed versus any form of undead 
  touch based attack (paralysis, level draining, disease, etc.). The super-charged grants a +2 bonus. 
  (See # 387 for a more powerful version of this stone) 
  279 
  SKY BLUE DODECAHEDRON 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of enhancement absorption is quite unusual. Any magical weapon that strikes 
  the user will do its normal damage, including strength, but any additional magical pluses are 
  absorbed by the IOUN stone itself. This also includes additional bonuses from enhancing items 
  (Gauntlets of Ogre Power etc.). As a result, any special magical properties (Vorpal, Sharpness, 
  etc.) are also cancelled. The stone can absorb 4D8+8 magical points of damage before burning 
  out, turning dull gray. See #15 for details on burned out IOUN stones. 
  280 
  YELLOW FACETED HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  This powerful IOUN stone can be a lifesaver. When activated the users normal Constitution 
  bonuses for his level are doubled granting temporary extra hit points. The stone is usable once 
  per week and the duration of the effect is 2D4+2 rounds. Any damage taken during this time is 
  first deducted from these bonus points. This stone has a 50% chance to crumble after its first use 
  with a +10% modifier for each additional use. 
  281 
  ORANGE FACETED TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  Another of the unique “twinned” IOUN stones; perhaps the most powerful of the type, this stone 
  also must be used by two different characters. The users of either stone can Teleport without 
  Error to the other stones location once per week, as long as both are on the same Plane of 
  Existence. These IOUN stones are always found in pairs and only one can be used by a single 
  character. 
  282 
  PALE AQUAMARINE 
  LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone gains a +1 to hit and +1 to damage in combat with any weapon, 
  including bare hands. Rare super-charged versions give the user a +2 to hit and damage. This 
  Stone does not add to the damage inflicted by a successful attack with any form of missile 
  weapon.  
  283 
  DEEP BLACK FACETED TORUS 
  (P) 
  The IOUN stone of recalling can be used to make any thrown weapon perform as an item of 
  returning. One chosen weapon per day that is thrown by hand can be attuned to the stone and 
  whenever it is thrown it will return to the users hand at the end of the round. This is a permanent 
  effect stone.  
  284 
  PURPLE & WHITE 
  CONNECTED SPHERES (V/L) 
   
  The user of this IOUN stone can agitate the molecules of up to 10’ thickness of stone allowing the 
  user to slip between the molecules of the rock. The passage thus created is 3’ wide and 5’ high. 
  The stone is usable once per week for 2D3 rounds, at the end of which the affected stone returns 
  to its natural solid state. Super-charged versions can affect up to 20’ of stone or 6 inches 
  thickness of metal.  
  
  43 | P a g e  
   
  285 
  RED FACETED TORUS (V/L)  
  The IOUN stone of mineral immovability allows the user to “freeze” any solid mineral surface of 
  up to a 1000 (10’ x 10’ x 10’) square foot area in place. Thus a descending block can be stopped, a 
  crumbling floor can be held together, a collapsing ceiling can be held in place; all for the duration 
  of the effect. The stone is usable once per week and the effect lasts for 2D3 rounds, with the 
  effect either moving with the user or staying in a designated location. This stone has a 50% 
  chance to crumble after its first usage, with a +10% modifier for each additional use.  
  286 
  DUSTY ROSE FACETED HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  The power of this IOUN stone is usable once per week, and lasts for 2D4+2 rounds. When 
  activated the user is completely “invisible and undetectable” by any form of undead creature as 
  the life energy is masked by the stone. A Cleric using this stones powers cannot affect undead in 
  any way while it is active, and any attacks made by the user will negate the effect.  
  287 
  WHITE & PINK SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L) 
  Once per week, for the duration of 2D3+2 rounds the user of this IOUN stone can create a rather 
  simple barrier. The ground in a 10’ radius becomes a completely sticky, tar-like substance, making 
  any attempt to move across it a complete failure. The user himself has the added bonus of 
  gaining the ability to move freely on such surfaces when the stone is in use. 
  288 
  FACETED LAVENDER TORUS 
  (T) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can choose to absorb damage from most forms of attack, from 
  natural creature attacks, melee weapons or missile attack. This stone will not absorb any kind of 
  magical or breath weapon damage. Such stones can absorb 10-100 points of damage before they 
  are destroyed, crumbling into dust. Roll 10D10 to determine how much reduction remains within 
  the stone when it is found. 
  289 
  WHITE SPHERE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the disc is a deadly item against an opponent; and one that is much prized by 
  adventurers. Once per week the stone can create a crystal disc that is 12 inches in diameter with 
  a center thickness of just ½ inch, tapering to an edge of extreme sharpness. This disc can be sent 
  towards an opponent within a range of up to 30’. Roll as normal to hit (no Strength or Dexterity 
  bonus’) inflicting 3D4+4 hit points of damage. However, a die roll of 18 or 19 acts as a Sword of 
  Sharpness, and a roll of 20 acts as a Vorpal weapon attack. After one successful attack the disc 
  vanishes, the IOUN stone reappears around the users head, and the recharge begins. This stone 
  has a 50% chance to crumble after its first usage, with a +10% modifier for each additional use. 
  290 
  GLOWING ROSE SPINDLE (I) 
  This IOUN stone can absorb and contain one spell of up to 4th level at a time. The user must be 
  the direct target of the spell (not an area effect spell). The user of the IOUN stone is then able to 
  cast the spell at another time, at the original casters level. Targets of the returned spell receive a 
  +2 save bonus if the user of this stone is not of the appropriate class or level to employ the spell.

  Super-charged versions of this stone can absorb spells up to 6th level. 
  291 
  ORANGE SMOOTH HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  This powerful set of “twinned” IOUN stones can be of great benefit to the users. These IOUN 
  stones are always found in pairs and only one can be used by a single character. Once per week if 
  one of the users drinks a potion, both can benefit from its effects. Only potions having a random 
  duration can be used in this way, and the duration of this shared potions effect is divided in half 
  between the two users. The major benefit of this stone is that there is no chance of potion 
  miscibility if they each consume a different substance. The potions shared must however be of a 
  type usable by both users. 
  292 
  BRIGHT BLUE OCTOHEDRON 
  (P) 
  The user of this powerful IOUN stone is completely immune to Charm, Command, and most other 
  mind influencing spells, including all forms of Insanity. This is a permanent effect stone as long as 
  it is in use. 
  293 
  PURPLE & LAVENDER 
  SPHERE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates a shifting cloud of thick rainbow hued vapors in a 5’ radius that make any 
  attacks against the user suffer a -2 to hit penalty. The effect is usable once per week and has a 
  duration of 2D3+2 rounds. 
  294 
  SCARLET & BLUE 
  CONNECTED SPHERES (V/L) 
  Once per week the owner of this IOUN stone can summon a small, 1’ tall, crystalline creature 
  from the Elemental Plane of Mineral. This creature will always have the appearance of the type of 
  creature that summoned it with the following stats: HD-2 / HP-2D8+2 / AC-0 / THACO-15 / #ATT-2 
  / DAMAGE-1D3. This creature is of low intelligence, able to perform only simple tasks, for the 
  duration of 2D3 rounds.  
  295 
  BLUE FACETED TORUS (V/L) 
  Moorchlyne’s IOUN stone is a favorite item, named after the first mage to find one of these rare 
  stones. This stones user can add a +1 to any single ability score of the user’s choice, to a 
  maximum of 18. Upon discovery the user may freely choose which ability he wishes to enhance, 
  and after one week of attunement it begins to function. Once chosen the user cannot change the 
  function of this stone for 24 hours. Rare super-charged stones of this type have been found that 
  will add +2 to an ability, but still with a maximum enhancement of 18. 
  
  44 | P a g e  
   
  296 
  BLUE ROD (I) (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the Prismatic Spray is perhaps one of the most powerful offensive stones ever 
  found. Once per week the user can project a stream of multi-colored, needle sized crystals from 
  his out stretched hands. This effect fills a cone shaped area 15’ long, 10’ wide at its base. Victims 
  must save versus Wands or receive 4D4+4 damage (or ½ that amount if a save is made). There 
  are rumors of the existence of a super-charged version that does 6D4+6 damage. (Named for 
  Vancian Magic) 
  297 
  RED LOZENGE (P)  
  The IOUN stone of superior Magic Resistance grants its user a cumulative 3% resistance to spells 
  for each level of experience of the user. The extremely rare super-charged version of this stone 
  will grant 4% resistance for each level of experience. This magic resistance is modified as per the 
  rules in MM1 page 5. 
  298 
  MAROON SMOOTH HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  Once per week the user of one of these “twinned IOUN stone can take an object up to 10 pounds 
  of weight in his hands and transfer it to whoever is using the second stone. The maximum range 
  for the transfer is 60’ and there must be a line of sight between the two users. These IOUN stones 
  are always found in pairs and only one can be used by a single character. The rare form of this 
  stone allows the transference of items weighing up to 100 pounds for the same distance. 
  299 
  RED SMOOTH TORUS (V/L) 
  Known as the “Fire-starter” this is a low powered IOUN stone which can be used to ignite a small 
  fire (camp fire, candle, torch, oil etc.) with a mere thought. The range of the effect is 20’ and it 
  can be used three times per day. It can also be used to raise the temperature in a 10’ radius of 
  the user by 20 degrees to a maximum of 100 degrees for 12 hours, with the effect moving with 
  the user. 
  300 
  ***FUSED / any combination 
  of two stones is possible*** 
  (varies) 
  This IOUN stone is actually two stones that have fused together during their formation which 
  both work to full effectiveness. Roll 2 times on the IOUN stone tables for which fusion has taken 
  place. A rare form of this IOUN stone occurring only 5% of the time has three fused stones. 
  Because of its size, this type of IOUN stone cannot be used within an IOUN Halo, IOUN Ring, or 
  IOUN Armband. 
   
   
   
   
  Klahzmaat D’rhaketh appraised the 
  destruction that had been wrought within 
  this ancient chamber. He contemplated 
  the costs: thirty one slaves had perished, 
  including more than a dozen trolls. Six of 
  his Drow warriors lay dead on the floor, 
  but they were all from inferior houses 
  and of little importance, along with 2 high 
  born clerics (one of whom had “errantly 
  strayed” into the path of Klahzmaat’s 
  vorpal blade). All of them had died for the 
  two IOUN stones that he had recovered. 
  Well within the balance he thought, the 
  scales were tilted in his favor, for the 
  stones were his now, and would make a 
  fine addition to his growing collection.

  47 | P a g e  
   
  312

  317 
  BRIGHT GREEN SMOOTH 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  This is one of the most powerful of IOUN stones, and one that can literally change its owner’s 
  fortunes. This stone will work one time before it is possibly destroyed, but it is able to completely 
  block any single spell attack that the owner chooses, even to the stopping of the dreaded 
  Mordenkainen’s Disjunction from affecting the user of the stone. The stone has a 50% chance of 
  crumbling when used with a +10% modifier for each use thereafter. 
  318

  creatures that are roughly twice the size / mass of a man. 
  321 
  PALE TURQUOISE LOZENGE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Pandelume is quite a beneficial stone in the hands of a spell caster. The user 
  can use the stones power once per week to detect and identify any “protective” spells such as 
  Shield, and Minor Globe of Invulnerability that are being used by a single creature within 30’. The 
  stone works to discover flaws in the protection giving a 2% chance per level of the user to 
  penetrate such a field with a spell. 
  322 
  DUSTY ROSE CUBE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be used to “vanish” a 10’ x 10’ x 10’ area of natural stone (loose dirt, rocks, 
  etc. can be affected). The designated target within 30’ is transported to the Elemental Plane of 
  Earth where it will remain forever. It will not take any living creatures with it, but it could drop 
  them in the hole it leaves behind. The stone functions once per week. 
  323 
  BLOOD RED SPHERE (I) 
  Once per week the user of this IOUN stone can generate a powerful Dispel Magic (as if cast at 18th

  cumulative chance on each successive use. 
  
  48 | P a g e  
   
  324 
  BLOOD RED RECTANGLE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of dis-harmonics can be the bane of many spell casters when used correctly. He 
  user can use the stone once per week to disrupt the gathering spell energy causing a 4th level or 
  lower spell that is about to be cast to fail utterly. The user must announce his intentions before 
  the caster begins to cast the spell. There is rumored to be super-charged versions of this stone 
  that can affect spells of 6th level or lower.  
  325 
  RED SMOOTH EGG (I) 
  Known as Rhialto’s spell thief this is an exceptionally powerful IOUN stone that is usable only by 
  Magic Users. If a target spell caster within 30’ is about to cast a spell the user of this stone is able 
  to literally steal the spell. He may then cast the stolen spell on his next turn; spells not cast 
  immediately are lost. The stone is usable once per week, and the target receives a save versus 
  Wands to cancel the effect. 
  326 
  BRIGHT ROSE ELLIPSOID 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone will allow the user to create an extra-dimensional pocket (Rope Trick) large 
  enough for up to four human sized creatures to move around comfortably. The stone can create 
  one such pocket per week. The “pocket” will last for 2D4+2 rounds, and only the chosen figures 
  may freely move into or out of the pocket. In dire emergencies the user is able to deplete his hit 
  points in order to extend the duration of the effect, adding 1D3 rounds per hit point that is used. 
  Hit points used in this fashion cannot be cured by spell, only by natural healing. The super-charged 
  version allows for up to eight occupants. 
  327 
    DARK ORANGE RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone is able to see through any form of polymorphed or shape-changed 
  creature. The power is usable once per week, and can be used on targets within 30’ of the user. 
  The true form is revealed, but only to the user of the stone.  
  328 
  GOLD SMOOTH TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  This type of IOUN stone is another semi-parasitic stone that is of most use to a spell caster. This 
  rare stone has the ability to leech hit points (energy) from its owner in order to amplify any 
  electrical based attack roll. For every 5 hit points that it drains the user will gain a +1 both to hit (if 
  needed) and +1 to any damage dice rolled. The drained hit points can be recovered by any normal 
  or magical means, however any time it is used there is a 25% chance that the stone will crumble 
  into dust. 
  329 
  PALE LAVENDER 
  OCTAHEDRON (V/L) 
  This type of IOUN stone, of which one once belonged to the warrior Quelce Ombriox, is a semi-
  parasitic stone. This rare stone has the ability to leech hit points (energy) from its owner in order 
  to amplify a melee attack roll. For every 5 hit points that it drains the user will gain a +1 both to hit 
  and damage. The drained hit points can be recovered by any normal or magical means, however 
  any time it is used in a single there is a 25% chance that the stone will crumble into dust. 
  330 
  LIME GREEN SPHERE (V/L)  
  The IOUN stone of Ulthario the Bold is an exceptional stone that is quite potent. Using this stone 
  even a normal warrior is able to unleash a barrage of Magic Missiles (anyone but a magic user who 
  uses this stone must roll a successful hit for the missiles to strike). The stones effects have a range 
  of 30’ and it is usable once per week.  The stone has a 50% chance of crumbling when used with a 
  +10% modifier for each use thereafter. Roll a D20 and consult the following chart to see the effect 
  of the barrage: 
   
  01-05

  COBALT BLUE CUBE (V/L) 
  This type of IOUN stone is another semi-parasitic stone that is of most use to a spell caster. This 
  rare stone has the ability to leech hit points (energy) from its owner in order to amplify any cold 
  based attack roll. For every 5 hit points that it drains the user will gain a +1 both to hit (if needed) 
  and +1 to any dice rolled. The drained hit points can be recovered by any normal or magical 
  means, however any time that this stone is used there is a 25% chance that the stone will crumble 
  into dust.  
  332 
  LAVENDER LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of spell enhancement is a most potent item. The user (mage) who activates this 
  spell can then release a perfect spell. The chosen spell will be at full strength, maximum duration, 
  etc. Any saves against a “perfect spell” are at a -2 and a 10% reduction in any magic resistance. 
  The stone is usable once per week. This stone has a 50% chance that it will crumble after its first 
  use with a +10% modifier for each additional use.

  333 
  LAVENDER ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone, owned by Quann’Ra-Tioll Moorchlyne, is very possibly one of the most powerful 
  IOUN stones ever discovered. It is rumored that while combating a most powerful enemy of Law 
  the mage was gifted by CRYSTALLE himself to obtain this unique stone. Upon activation the stone 
  will give its possessor a magic resistance of 30% for 2D3+2 rounds. No other IOUN stones or 
  magical items of magic resistance can be added to this stones power.  
  334 
  DARK ORANGE SPINDLE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of last resort is a dangerous stone if used incorrectly. This stone can only ever be 
  used safely one time before it has a chance to crumble into dust. When activated the stone will 
  pulse brightly for one round, it then draws into itself 2D4 hit points of energy from any creatures 
  (damaging them) of sufficient size, and within 30’, into itself. These points then become extra hit 
  points for the user for 2D3+2 rounds, being removed before any actual damage is received. The 
  base chance for the stones destruction is 50%, with a 10% additional chance per activation. The 
  stone is usable once per week  
  335 
  MAROON SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L) 
  This powerful IOUN stone can be used one time before it possibly crumbles into dust. But before it 
  is destroyed it can project an Anti-Magic Shell in a 5’ radius around its user for 2D3 rounds. The 
  base chance for the stone to crumble is 50% with a +10% cumulative chance per use.  
  336 
  PALE AQUAMARINE CUBE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone actually has no inherent powers that it imparts to its owner, but upon activation 
  it will turn invisible, and fly up to 30’ away towards a chosen target. It will then attempt to capture 
  a random IOUN stone possessed by the target (roll randomly for multiple stones). The user of the 
  target stone must save versus Wands with no modifiers or the target stone begins to orbit the 
  imposter stone which then returns to its owner. Captured stones will take one week to attune to 
  their new owner.  
  337 
  PALE BLUE RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone has the power to alter the structure of one type of crystal, changing it into 
  another of equal value. Thus 500GP of small emeralds could be changed, forming into a single 
  500GP diamond. Alternatively any metal can be transformed into another metal at the same rates. 
  The maximum value that can be affected by either use is 1000Gp, and the stone is usable only 
  once per week.  
  338 
  YELLOW HEXAGONAL ROD 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stones user has a 50% chance to detect any hostile / harmful magic in a 20’ radius when 
  the user concentrates for 1 round. The stone is usable once per week and will also allow the user 
  to a chance to sense charms, illusions, and all forms of eavesdropping spells.  
  339 
  BLOOD RED RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  This type of IOUN stone is another semi-parasitic stone that is of most use to a spell caster. This 
  rare stone has the ability to leech hit points (energy) from its owner in order to amplify any fire 
  based attack roll. For every 5 hit points that it drains the user will gain a +1 both to hit (if needed) 
  and +1 to any damage dice rolled. The drained hit points can be recovered by any normal or 
  magical means, however any time that the stone is used there is a 25% chance that the stone will 
  crumble into dust. (This is a more potent version of #146) 
  340 
  DEEP BLUE CUBE (P) 
  This IOUN stone enables the user to communicate in a primitive fashion with semi-sentient 
  creatures, or forms of life. Only very basic principles can be sensed or sent by the user. This is a 
  permanent effect stone and is always working.  
  341 
  BRIGHT ROSE SPINDLE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the ultimate barrage can be used only a limited number of times before it will 
  crumble into dust. The user rolls 3D3+2 for the number of Magic Missiles that are unleashed upon 
  a single enemy within 30’. Each missile will inflict 1D4+1 damage to the chosen target creature. 
  Non magic users who use this stone must make a successful attack roll to strike the target. The 
  base chance for crumbling is 50% with a +10% cumulative chance per use.  
  342 
  PURPLE CYLINDER (I) 
  The IOUN stone called Iucounu’s Time Extender is a stone of such power that many have been 
  killed just to possess one of its type. When activated, the user will roll 1D3+2 to determine the 
  number of segments that are affected. Each segment will then function as a complete round for 
  the user allowing multiple attacks (only one weapon attack per segment is allowed, regardless of 
  the level of the user). This stone will even allow the casting of one spell per segment, as long as 
  the casting time of each spell is less than the number of segments that are affected. The stone is 
  usable once per week and it has a 50% chance of crumbling when first used with a +10% modifier 
  for each use thereafter. 
  
  50 | P a g e  
   
  343 
  LIGHT BLUE CATSEYE (V/L) 
  This type of IOUN stone is commonly referred to as the flux stone. Anyone using its power will be 
  able to modify a chosen ability score, but the modification varies in the intensity of its effect. The 
  ability score alteration lasts for 1D4+2 turns, and it is usable once per day. Upon activation roll a 
  D10:  
   
  1 
  Lose one point from the chosen ability 
  2 
  There is no effect on the chosen ability 
  3-8 
  Add +1 to the chosen ability to a maximum of 18 
  9 
  Add +2 to the chosen ability to a maximum of 18  
  10 
  Add +2 to the chosen ability no maximum  
   
  344 
  DUSTY ROSE SPHERE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of instantaneous transportation is one of the most effective methods of escape 
  ever found. Once per week the user can designate a particular location (he must be at the location 
  that is being chosen). Upon later activation, the stones power will instantly transport the user and 
  everything he is wearing or carrying to the designated spot. The user and the destination must 
  both be on the same Plane of Existence for the effect to work. The user is free to change the 
  location each week. This stone has a 50% chance to crumble after its first use with a +10% 
  cumulative chance per use.  
  345 
  WHITE & PINK ELLIPSOID 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of energy infusion is a potent weapon. Using the stones power causes a rock, or 
  section of stone, up to 100GP weight and within 30’ to glow with intense heat before it violently 
  explodes. The sharp fragments will fill a 10’ radius and inflict 2D6+2 points of damage to any 
  creature caught within the area of the blast (save versus Wands for ½ damage). The power of this 
  stone is usable once per week.  
  346 
  PALE GREEN FACETED EGG 
  (P) 
  This IOUN stone causes a permanent effect while in use. The user does not require actual sleep, 
  but instead can rest in the Elven way; a period of relaxed reflection that allows the user to rest as 
  if sleeping. The user is still alert to his surroundings as he mentally drifts in a state of calm reverie. 
  347 
  MAROON SPHERE (P)  
  This IOUN stone will allow the user to partially conceal his alignment. Any such check will reveal an 
  alignment that ‘blends “in with the general alignments of the creatures / characters within 30’ of 
  the user. Paladins and Cavaliers will not use the deceptive powers of this type of IOUN stone. The 
  effects of this stone will last for 4D4+4 rounds. 
  348 
  YELLOW LOZENGE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone will send out a pulse of energy in a 30’ radius that will momentarily (2D4+2 
  segments) outline all invisible creatures with a glow similar in effect to a Faerie Fire. As a bonus, 
  this pulse will also cause any hidden Glyph’s or Rune’s to also reveal their presence. It does not 
  cancel any of the detected powers, but will reveal any form of natural or magical of invisibility. The 
  power is usable once per week. 
  349 
  BRIGHT ROSE CUBE (V/L) 
  IOUN stones of this type are very powerful and very rarely found. When activated they have a 
  chance to nullify any magical protective auras that have been cast on items (rings, armor, amulets, 
  etc.). Each item must make a base save of 10+ on a D20 to avoid the effect. The dampening effect 
  will last for only 1D3+1 rounds, affects one target creature and his equipment, and is usable once 
  per week. 
  350 
  LAVENDER CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Alathor is an extremely valuable item that is highly prized by all adventurers. A 
  protective stone, it activates instantly as soon as the user is struck a blow that will put him at -1 or 
  fewer hit points. The stone will create a crystal cocoon that stops damage at “0” for 1D3+2 rounds. 
  At the end of this time the shell will shatter and the process of bleeding will commence. The stone 
  is usable once per week. 
  351 
  BRILLIANT GREEN SPINDLE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be activated once per week to send a stunning pulse of wildly flickering colors 
  in a 10’ radius from the user. Those who fail a base save versus Wands will be stunned for their 
  next round by the dazzling display, and will be unable to perform any action (attack, cast spell, 
  move, etc.). 
  352 
  BRIGHT BLUE SPHERE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of limited parrying can be activated once per week for 1D3+2 rounds. During that 
  time the user may attempt to parry one melee attack per round. The user rolls a D20 versus the 
  chosen attack. If a 12-19 is rolled the attack is successfully parried with no damage taken. If the 
  roll is a 20 then the user of the stone gets an immediate, out of sequence return attack against his 
  opponent. If this free attack is successful he inflicts his normal damage. 
  
  51 | P a g e  
   
  353 
  EMERALD GREEN CYLINDER 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be used to generate an energy conduit to a willing ally within 30’. Once 
  established, the connection can be broken by either the user or the ally at any time during the 
  stones duration of 1D3+2 rounds. While linked, the ally is able to take ½ of the damage received 
  by the user from melee or missile attack. No special powers are transmitted via this stone 
  (paralysis, level drain, poison etc.). The power of this stone is usable once per week. (See #372 for 
  a related stone) 
  354 
  CLEAR CUBE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of enhancement will aid a character when he is healed of damage. The stone can 
  be activated once per week with a duration of 2D4 rounds. The power of any Cure spell received 
  by the user during that time is augmented, with a +1 for each die that is rolled. This does not 
  affect Cure type spells cast by any form of magical device with the exception of scrolls. It also will 
  not affect curing received by the use of potions. 
  355 
  AMBER ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is a most potent item in the hands of an archer or any user of missile weapons. It 
  has the ability to infuse one missile attack per day with a massive jolt of kinetic energy. The user 
  announces his intention to activate the stone then rolls to hit the target. No plus for hitting is 
  gained, but if the amplified shot strikes the target it will deliver an additional 10 points of damage. 
  If a natural 20 is rolled then the attack does +20 points of damage. 
  356 
  PALE BLUE PRISM (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows the user to create a freezing cold zone that causes all surfaces in the area 
  of effect to become coated with a thin layer of frost. The area is a 30’ radius from the user and 
  lasts for just 1D3+2 rounds, yet is sufficient to stun insects, or kill Brown Mold colonies. Fire based 
  creatures will take 1D4 damage per round that they remain inside the area. The stone is usable 
  once per week. 
  357 
  BLACK SMOOTH TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  The Druids Bane IOUN stone is a powerful weapon against plants, and if misused will bring the 
  wrath of most Druids. When activated, the stone releases a pulse of Negative Life Energy that will 
  quickly shrivel any normal plants that are within a 10’ radius from the user. The main use of this 
  stone by adventurers will be to injure any hostile plant-creatures that are caught within the area 
  inflicting 3D4+3 points of damage. The stone is usable once per week. 
  358 
  BRIGHT SILVER SMOOTH 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can be used once per week to affect one single weapon held by the user. The 
  weapon will become coated with a fine network of silver filaments allowing it to strike against 
  certain creatures. The silver coating will last for 3D4+3 rounds. 
  359 
  BRIGHT WHITE FACETED 
  CONE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can contain the “essence” of a former owner (or owners). The power of the stone 
  allows the user to consult with the memories of the personality within the stone. The details for 
  each personality should be “unique”, and campaign specific. Many of the personalities were 
  masters of their chosen trade. (It takes a week of attunement to access the memories, during this 
  time the DM needs to create the personality, use some imagination and make it quirky) Roll a D20 
  and consult the following table for what type of entity is contained within the stone: 
   
  01 
  Commoner (yokel who just stumbled across the IOUN stone sometime in the past) 
  02-03 
  Warrior (includes all sub-classes, possible master at all weapons etc.) 
  04-06 
  Cleric / Druid 
  07-09 
  Magic User / Illusionist 
  10-12 
  Thief / Assassin 
  13-15 
  Specialist (Alchemist / Scribe / Sage / Metal Smith / etc.) 
  16-18 
  Standard Creature (Troll / Ogre / Giant / etc.) 
  19 
  Planar Creature (Demon /Devil / Githyanki /Elemental / etc.) 
  20 
  Dragon 
   
  360 
  LAVENDER SMOOTH TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of doubling allows the user once a week to repeat a spell of 2nd level or lower 
  that the character first casts upon himself Invisibility, Fly, Protection Versus Evil etc.). The same 
  spell can be then be cast a second time on another character. The chosen spell must be cast on 
  the next round or it will be lost. Super-charged will allow spells of 4th level or lower to be doubled. 
  Neither will affect any form of offensive spell. 
  361 
  WHITE LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of magic un-weaving is a rather unusual stone, and one that is highly prized by 
  spell casters. Using this stone allows the user to actually “see” the strands of magic spells that 
  have been cast on an item, or in an area and allows the stones user to un-weave the spell, like a 
  strand of blue flamed silk, storing it within the IOUN stone. The user can then recast the spell at 
  another time. It takes 2D3 rounds to un-weave the spell, thus negating it. 
  
  52 | P a g e  
   
  362 
  PURPLE & LAVENDER 
  CATSEYE (V/L) 
  IOUN stone of potion delay is useful to any character class. The user activates the stone just as he 
  begins to consume a potion. The effect of the potion does not occur until the user chooses to 
  release it using the power of the stone. The “stored” potion can be held for up to 24 hours, and if 
  not used within this time the effects will be cancelled. The stone is usable once per week. 
  363 
  GREEN & SILVER SPINDLE 
  (V/L) 
  IOUN stone of Spell delay is another quite useful item. The IOUN stone is activated at the same 
  time that a spell is cast (even a protective spell used upon the caster himself). The effect of the 
  spell does not occur until the user chooses to release the power from the stone. The “stored” spell 
  can be held for up to 24 hours and the release will take just one segment. The stone is usable once 
  per week. Thus a spell with a one turn casting time could be “stored” and later be released in but 
  one segment. 
  364 
  PURPLE SPINDLE (V/L) 
  IOUN stone of “absorption” allows one non-living item of less than 10 pounds to be merged within 
  the flesh of the stones user, making it completely undetectable. The merged item can be called 
  forth at any time upon command. The merged item can remain merged indefinitely, as long as the 
  stone is in use. Only one item can be merged with the stones user at a time. 
  365 
  PALE YELLOW STAR (V/L) 
  The user of the IOUN stone of twisted vision can look around corners within 30’ once per day. 
  Using this stone protects the user from any gaze type attacks while viewing from around a corner. 
  The duration of its effects is 3rounds. 
  366 
  AMBER SPHERE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of flesh re-bonding will allow the re-attaching of limbs that have been removed by 
  accident or by magical attack. The effect can be used on any creature, but will not work on a dead 
  creature. The power of this stone must be used within 3 rounds of the limbs removal. The power is 
  usable up to three per week, and the limb takes 2D4+2 rounds to fully re-bond to a completely 
  useable state. This stone has a 50% chance of crumbling after it is first used with a +10% modifier 
  for each additional use. 
  367 
  PALE GREEN ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of enhanced melee attack is most powerful in the hands of a warrior. The stone is 
  usable once per week and when activated the stones effect will last for 2D3 rounds. Use of this 
  stone allows the owner to make a maximum of one attack each round that will have a +2 to hit (in 
  addition to any other bonus’ for strength or magic) and if it is successful the attack will do full 
  damage.  
  368 
  PINK SMOOTH TORUS (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of enhanced missile attack is a stone that is most usable by any character that 
  uses a bow or employs hurled weapons. The stone is usable once per week and when activated 
  the stones effect will last for 2D3 rounds. The power of the stone allows the user to make one 
  missile attack during each round that will have a +2 to hit and damage (in addition to any other 
  bonus’ for magic) and if it is successful the attack will do full damage.  
  369 
  DARK BLUE MULTI-FACETED 
  CYLINDER (V/L) 
   
  The IOUN stone of the unwitting ally will possibly allow the user to influence other beings. The 
  targeted creature of 8 Hit Dice or less has a save versus Wands or for the next 1D3 rounds it will 
  act or attack as you command. The creature will not do any action that will put it in imminent 
  danger (jumping off a cliff for instance, or walking through an area that it knows is trapped) but it 
  will attack your enemies, or open doors. Creatures who are naturally unaffected by Charm spells 
  are not influenced by this stone. 
  370 
  PALE BLUE CATSEYE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of spell shunting causes a spell cast at the user to target a random spot within 
  2D4+4 x 2 feet. This is an instantaneous stone (i.e. Featherfall) that will work against one chosen 
  spell per week. 
  371 
  DEEP BLUE CUBE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of “slipperiness” can be a life saver that is usable once per week for 2D3+2 
  rounds. When employed the user cannot be grappled or engulfed by creatures, nor can they be 
  entwined by the results of any spell-like or magical device effect as long as the stones power is in 
  effect.  
  372 
  PALE GREEN CONNECTED 
  SPHERES (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the energy conduit is useful when a character with few hit points is about to 
  take damage. Using the stone along with an either a willing or unwilling ally allows you to shunt all 
  or a portion of damage to him. The unwilling target will have a save versus Wands to avoid the 
  effect. The link lasts for a duration of 1D3+2 rounds or until the willing ally cancels the link, 
  whichever occurs first. Any damage (spell or melee or missile) that you receive after activation can 
  be shunted by this stone. The stone is usable once per week. (See #353 for a related stone)  
  373 
  PALE TURQUOISE 
  TEARDROP (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows the user to determine roughly how many charges an item has remaining 
  (The DM gives an answer within two if the actual number of charges). The item in question must 
  be held for a full turn for the stone to function correctly. Thus the user is able to tell when a Wand 
  or similar magical item is close to being depleted. This stone has a 50% chance to crumble after its 
  first use with a +10% additional chance per use.  
  
  53 | P a g e  
   
  374 
  BRASS SPINDLE (V/L)  
  This IOUN stone allows the owner to activate any device (Wand, Staff, Rod, etc.) without uttering 
  a command word (the command word must be known). Thus such items can be used while in a 
  Silence 15’ Radius spell and other similar spelled areas. This stone will also allow the casting of a 
  single memorized spell requiring a verbal component without uttering a verbal component. Either 
  function is usable but once per week.  
  375 
  OCHRE RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Curse detection is usable once per week. The user is able to determine if a 
  questionable item or creature is cursed, and has a 30% chance of identifying the curses effect. This 
  stone even has a 10% chance to detect flawed (cursed) IOUN stones.  
  376 
  PEARL BROWN ROD (P) 
  The IOUN stone of mineral identification allows the user to successfully identify any naturally 
  occurring mineral by touch. This is a permanent effect stone.  
  377 
  PEARL WHITE CYLINDER 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Magical Power is an extremely potent item in the hands of a spell caster. It can 
  be activated once per week and has a 2D3 round duration. When found roll a d20 to determine 
  the power of this stone as it functions differently for every person: 
   
  01-10 
  The user doesn’t require the verbal portion to cast one spell a week when activated.  
  11-17 
  The user doesn’t require somatic gestures to cast one spell a week when activated.  
  18-19 
  The user doesn’t require a verbal portion/somatic gesture to cast one spell a week 
  when activated.

  378 
  PINK SPHERE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone grants the user the ability to cause paralysis by touch. Once activated the power 
  is then released upon any successful melee touch on a living creature (undead are immune). The 
  affected creature must save versus Wands or be paralyzed for 1D3+1 rounds. The stone is usable 
  once per week and the owner can attack for 2D3 rounds, possibly paralyzing several opponents. 
  379 
  COBALT BLUE SPHERE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Minor Undead disruption affects a 20’ radius centered on the user upon 
  activation. Roll a d20 to see the strength of the created field. Clerics and Paladins add +2 to the roll 
  of the twenty sided die. Each level rolled adds an additional +1 to the damage inflicted on lesser 
  forms of undead. (I.e. a roll of 20 will inflict an additional +5 damage to skeletons, +4 damage to 
  Zombies, or +3 damage to Ghouls etc.) This powerful stone has a 50% chance to crumble after its 
  first use with a +10% modifier for each additional use. 
   
  01-05 
  affects all Skeletons causing 2D3 damage 
  06-10 
  affects all Zombies causing 2D3 damage 
  11-15

  380 
  YELLOW SPINDLE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of repairs will allow the user to attempt to “re-fabricate” a broken magic item. 
  The chance of success is 10% plus a cumulative 3% bonus per level of the user. It is also modified 
  by an additional 2% for each magical plus that the damaged item possessed. This stone is usable 
  once per week, and only one attempt can ever be made to repair any single item using this stone. 
  The user can also sense the condition of any magic item while using this stone. The Dungeon 
  Master will always have the final say as to whether or not a damaged item may be repaired by this 
  IOUN stone. This stone can be used to repair a flawed (cursed) IOUN stone, with a flat chance of 
  10%. Only one attempt is ever possible for repairing any item. 
  381 
  SKY BLUE RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  In desperate times the innate power of this IOUN stone can obscure the user, possibly saving the 
  characters life. Once per week it can be activated for the duration of 2D4+2 rounds. The effect will 
  cause all forms of Infravision, Night Vision, Dark Vision, and Ultra-Vision in a 30’ radius to cease 
  functioning. This could effectively blind most opponents, thus allowing the user to escape. 
  382 
  PULSING WHITE SPINDLE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Echo-Location allows the user to navigate in the darkest of places including 
  Globes of Darkness with the bat-like ability to detect his surroundings. The stone is usable once

  54 | P a g e  
   
  383 
  CLEAR STAR (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Elemental summoning allows the user to summon and communicate 
  telepathically with a small elemental creature. The creature will arrive in 1D4 rounds and serve the 
  user for 2D4 rounds before returning to the Elemental Plane of Earth. Roll a D20 and consult the 
  following chart to determine the type of creature summoned: 
   
  01-05

  BLOOD RED FACETED 
  RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  The owner of this IOUN stone is completely immune to all forms of undead special attacks, 
  including touch attacks when he activates its power. This will not stop the physical damage from 
  an attack, only any special damage that may occur (paralysis, level drain). This stone will work 
  once per week for 2D4+2 rounds.  
  385 
  DEEP RED LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of massive Translocation can be used once per week to move a single non-living 
  item weighing up to 2000 pounds. The user is able to touch an object which can then be 
  translocated up to 100’ away. The super-charged version can move willing, living creatures in the 
  same fashion with the same limitations. (This is a much more powerful version of stone #169)  
  386 
  GOLD CATSEYE (I) 
  This extremely powerful IOUN stone only has a very limited number of uses but few stones can 
  compare. The user can attune the stone not only to him, but also to a place. If the character is 
  killed (-10 hit points) the stone will instantly transport him to the attuned place and then acts as a 
  raise dead on the user, restoring him to 1 hit point. This stone has a 75% chance to crumble into 
  dust after being used with a 10% cumulative chance for each additional use. 
  387 
  EMERALD GREEN FACETED 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  The owner of this IOUN stone has a Major protection from evil creatures from the Outer planes. 
  Creatures of up to 10 hit dice are affected. The user of this IOUN stone will gain the benefits of a 
  +2 protection versus many of the larger creatures from the Outer Planes (demons, devils, etc. of 
  10 HD and larger). It also grants a +2 on any saves required against such creatures magical 
  abilities. This is a more powerful version of stone #125. 
  388 
  PALE YELLOW FACETED 
  PYRAMID (T) 
  This IOUN stone is able to emit a barrage of Prismatic rays comprised of up to ten different 
  colored beams that each has a different effect. Once per week the energy of the stone can be 
  unleashed, filling a cone shaped area that is 5’ at the user x 15’ long x 10’ at its base. Any creatures 
  caught within the area will be possibly be struck by one or more of the beams, unless a save 
  versus Wands is made against each. This stone will work only once before it crumbles into dust. 
  Roll 1D3 for the number that might possibly strike each target, then roll percentage dice on the 
  following chart to see how many and what color: 
   
  01-10 
  Red = A searing beam of concentrated flame that delivers 1D10 damage 
  15-20 
  Orange = A coiling rope of energy grasps the opponent shackling the victim to the 
  ground for one round, eliminating his next move or attack (Slow Spell) 
  25-30 
  Yellow = A blinding beam of light that delivers 2D5 damage to undead, and has a 
  chance to blind living opponents for 1D3 rounds 
  31-40 
  Green = A caustic stream of solidified acid strikes for 2D3 damage 
  41-50 
  Blue = A chilling ray if intense cold that delivers 2D3 damage 
  51-60 
  Indigo = The target is blanketed with an anti-magic field that “stuns” any carried 
  items for 1D3 rounds 
  61-70 
  Violet = A beam that will reduce the targets magic resistance by 1D3 x 10% for 2D3 
  rounds. 
  71-80 
  White = A stream of Positive energy that will infuse living targets with 2D3 extra hit 
  points, or deliver the same amount as damage to any undead creatures. 
  81-90 
  Black = A cold beam of Negative energy that will drain 2D3 hit points of damage 
  91-100 
  Rainbow hues = User may choose the color of ray that strikes

  389 
  DARK BLUE ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Area Spell Absorption is a quite potent item that can function to save many 
  characters at once. This is an instantaneous stone (i.e. Featherfall) that when activated creates a 
  large area of magical absorption. The user rolls a D20 x 2’ to determine the radius of the area that 
  will be centered upon the stone (the randomness reflects how quickly the field can be created). 
  The circle functions as an anti magic barrier for just 1D3 rounds but it will completely stop area 
  effect spells from functioning in the designated area. This stone has a 50% chance of crumbling 
  after its first use with a +10 chance for each additional use. 
  390 
  PINK ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is useful in creating a more stable medium for all forms of “Contact Other Plane” 
  type spells. The user who casts the spell while using this stone gains an additional 1D3 questions, 
  and all answers can be up to three words in length. The stone is usable once per week, with a 
  duration of 2D3 rounds. 
  391 
  ORANGE RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the Illusionary Emulsifier allows the user to create one “real” creature of man 
  sized or smaller. They are solid illusions that will obey the owner of the stone for the duration of 
  1D4+1 rounds before vanishing. The stone is usable once per week. 
  392 
  RUBY RED STAR (V/L) 
  This is a rather unusual IOUN stone in that it allows the user to pick up an object and sense the 
  latent psychic imprint that it possesses. Thus he can possibly glimpse the actions of the previous 
  owners of the object. Only “visions” of the object associated with where it was found are allowed. 
  The stone is usable once per week and the user must handle the item for a full turn to perform the 
  aura reading. 
  393 
  PINK & GREEN 
  OCTAHEDRON (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of focused destruction functions as a minor form of the powerful Mordenkainens 
  Disruption spell. One target item within 30’ is chosen by the user. A pale ray of light blue energy 
  strikes at the targeted magic item which has a 25% chance of being destroyed. The stone is usable 
  once per week, but there is a base 50% chance plus 10% on each use that the stone will crumble. 
  394 
  DUSTY ROSE RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone grants its user the ability of magic user spell Duo-Dimension once per week for 
  2D3+2 rounds. While in this state the user could actually slip through extremely narrow cracks. 
  395 
  BLOOD RED CYLINDER (T) 
  The IOUN stone of the Ultimate Singularity is capable of destroying an opponent with a single 
  attack. The target must save versus Wands or the ultimate compression will reduce the targets 
  mass to the size of a pinhead. The man sized or smaller target is compacted into a molecule sized 
  point and utterly destroyed. This stone is usable once before it crumbles into dust. 
  396 
  LIME GREEN ROD (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone is able to create a 20’ diameter area full of thousands of “0” 
  coefficient marbles. It is impossible to stand on the surface without some form of magical aid. The 
  user himself is able to move across the new surface with ease. The effect lasts for 2D3 rounds and 
  is usable once per week. 
  397 
  GLOWING ROSE SMOOTH 
  EGG (P)  
  The IOUN stone of Magic Armor Enhancement will add a +1 to the quality of any magic armor 
  worn by the user. This will not help in saving throws, but will only adjust the armor class of the 
  user. The effect does not extend to magical shields or any other items of protection. 
  398 
  BRASS CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of truth is a rather useful item. Once per day the user can compel one creature to 
  tell the absolute truth to any one question. The target must save versus wands or be forced to 
  reply truthfully to a single question. The truthful answer is limited to no more than ten words. 
  399 
  PALE BLUE FACETED LENS 
  (V/L) 
  This is a favorite IOUN stone for anyone dedicated to fighting trolls. The power of the stone 
  generates an absorption field that prevents any type of Regeneration from occurring within a 10’ 
  radius of the user. The field lasts for 2D4+2 rounds and the stone is usable once per week. 
  400 
  EMERALD GREEN STAR (S) 
  This extremely powerful stone can only be identified by being attuned to a character, whereupon 
  it will function automatically. Known as the IOUN stone of CRYSTALLE it will take the new owner 
  deep into the heart of the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral, and into the presence of CRYSTALLE, 
  who rules this realm of wealth. The great being has a cloud of more than three hundred IOUN 
  stones orbiting his structure and “IT” will ask what stone you desire. With delight “IT” will 
  exchange the chosen stone for the Emerald Green Star. This stone can only be found as treasure, 
  never as an item being used. No power for this stone is known, but it must be very powerful 
  indeed for CRYSTALLE values these stones above all others, and will tolerate no other to possess 
  them.

  The extremely rare IOUN stone that lay within was comprised of fused 
  crystals that glowed with incredible beauty. Red, blue, and violet light shone 
  from within, whispers of the power it contained…

  Table #5 - IOUN stones #401-#500 – Detailed  
  D100 IOUN Stone 
  Effect 
  401 
  BROWN CUBE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows a character to sense the “mood” of any trees or plants within 60’. A Druid 
  using this stone can sense for miles through the forest, his thoughts travelling through root and 
  branch gathering information. The stone is usable once per week with a duration of 3D3+3 rounds. 
  The Druid can “travel” 1 mile in a chosen direction for each round of immersion in the network, 
  and must afterwards rest for a full round for each round of mental “travel”. Any druid who uses 
  this IOUN stone within the confines of his grove would be able to travel twice as far per round, 
  and would not suffer the fatigue side effect. 
  402 
  BRIGHT ROSE FACETED 
  HELIX (V/L) 
  This wonderful little IOUN stone creates a “fumble field” around the user once per week for 2D3+2 
  rounds. On any missed dice rolls of 1, or 2 that is made by an attacker on their D20 roll, they must 
  immediately save versus Wands or drop any item they are carrying including a held weapon. The 
  stone will not affect any form of natural weapon attacks (claws, teeth, etc.). The super-charged 
  version of this stone affects dice rolls of 1, 2, 3, or 4 and any form of natural attack that rolls these 
  numbers will cause the attacker to stumble off balance and fall.  
  403 
  LIGHT BLUE SPHERE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of temporary spell immunity will make its owner immune to the effects of certain 
  levels of spells for a limited duration. The downside is that even “friendly spells” of the designated 
  level cannot be cast on the user of this stone. The stone is usable once per week and has duration 
  of 2D3+2 rounds. Roll percentage dice and consult the following chart to determine the power of 
  the stone:  
   
  01-50 
  The user is immune to the effects of 1st level spells. 
  51-85 
  The user is immune to the effects of 1st and 2nd level spells. 
  86-99 
  The user is immune to the effects of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level spells. 
  100 
  The user is immune to the effects of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level spells. 
   
  404 
  DEEP RED CATSEYE (V/L) 
  IOUN stone of increased probabilities: allows the user once per week to influence a random magic 
  roll by 10% on any percent roll required by the user. This would work for a spell that is cast or by 
  an activated magical item (Wand of Wonder). Thus for example a percentage roll for a Mirror 
  Image spell could be adjusted up or down, or a roll for being struck by a Confusion spell could be 
  affected. The random effects of a Wand of Wonder could be influenced, and most importantly this 
  roll could help preserve some limited use IOUN stones by dropping their “crumble” roll by 10%. 
  This stone will not influence any skill checks by thieves, dwarves or gnomes, or any dice rolls for 
  combat, saves, or damage rolls. 
  405 
  INDIGO BLUE ELLIPSOID (P) 
  (B) 
  This IOUN stone enhances the power of any member of the Monk class. Non-Monks using this 
  stone will gain one random level from the Monks ability chart. But for a Monk this is a much more 
  potent item. Roll a D6 and consult the table below for the effect: 
   
  1 
  Gain one extra ability from Table A 
  2 
  Gain one extra ability from Table B 
  3 
  Gain one extra ability from Table C 
  4 
  Gain one extra ability from Table D 
  5 
  Gain one extra ability from Table E 
  6 
  User may choose a Talent from any table (All restrictions for the talents gained apply) 
   
  (This IOUN stone is campaign specific to the modified version of the Monk that we use in our 
  campaign. Reroll the dice for any other campaign) 
  406 
  WHITE RHOMBOID (V/L) 
  Over the centuries IOUN stones of this type have become known as CRYSTALLE’S Hammer. When 
  activated, a barely visible wave of rippling force will strike at the same or multiple targets located 
  within the designated area. Three times this power will strike with the users Thaco, affecting a 5’ 
  radius located within 30’ of the caster causing 3D4+3 damage whenever it hits. The user must roll 
  his base melee attack with no bonus’ to succeed in striking his opponents. The stone is usable 
  once per week with the strikes arriving on three consecutive rounds of combat. 
  407 
  PALE AQUAMARINE 
  SMOOTH TORUS (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates a crystalline web of silver filaments that can be cast up to 30’ away. The 
  effect covers a 20’ diameter area, and it is able to hold man sized or smaller living creatures as well 
  as the undead. All creatures caught receive a saving throw versus Wands to avoid the effect. The 
  power can be used once per week with duration of 2D3 rounds.  
  
  59 | P a g e  
   
  408 
  LIME GREEN SPINDLE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows the user once a week, the power to scan a 30’ radius for any latent Psychic 
  Impressions. Not a true vision of the area is seen, but a vague visual overlay of events that have 
  happened within the area of detection. Ghostly images appear to the user playing out recent 
  events that occurred in the area of effect. 
  409 
  GLOWING ROSE LOZENGE 
  (I) 
  The power thief IOUN stone functions to deplete a charge from an opponent’s IOUN stone. Upon 
  activation the target stone is temporarily drained of its power for one week. The owner of the 
  target stone receives a save versus Spells to avoid the effect. This stone is usable once per week 
  and has a range of 30’. This will even cancel an IOUN stone effect that has already been activated. 
  410 
  PALE TURQUOISE FACETED 
  EGG (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates an aura of calm in a 10’ radius that will negate the effects of any fear 
  based attacks for those who remain with the area. The stone can be activated once per week for a 
  2D3 round duration. 
  411 
  ORANGE ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  This amazing IOUN stone will create a Disintegration field that surrounds the user in a 2’ radius. 
  Any attacker who strikes in melee combat must save versus Wands or receive 4D3+4 hit points of 
  damage; a successful save indicating that the barrier has been avoided. The field vanishes after 
  one failed save, or the end of the 1D4+1 rounds of duration has expired. 
  412 
  BRIGHT ROSE SPHERE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates a small “window” to any desired Elemental or Outer Plane. The user can 
  then scrye by moving the window at any desired speed as he views the bizarre landscapes. Almost 
  any creature native to the chosen Plane can sense the “portal” on a successful save versus Spells 
  and will most likely try to pass through and attack. The window can be created once per week and 
  will last for 2D3 rounds or until closed by the user. The user cannot pass through this opening. 
  413 
  CLEAR RECTANGLE (V/L)  
  The IOUN stone of sending will function once per week and send the targeted item or man sized or 
  smaller creature to a small pocket deep within the Elemental Plane of Earth for 1D3 rounds. Any 
  living target receives a save versus Wands to avoid the effect. At the end of the duration the victim 
  or item will return to the same spot he occupied before the sending. What happens to the target 
  while on that far plane is left up to the DM. There is a 50% chance that this stone will crumble 
  after its first use with a +10% chance for each additional use. 
  414 
  BRIGHT ROSE CYLINDER (P) 
  This IOUN stone gives the user a +2 to hit and damage against any creatures from the Outer 
  Planes, including those creatures that dwell within the Astral Plane. 
  415 
  BLOOD RED STAR (P) 
  This IOUN stone gives the user a +2 to hit and damage against any creature from the Inner Planes 
  of existence which includes all of the Elemental Planes and those creatures that dwell within the 
  Ethereal Plane. 
  416 
  BRIGHT BLUE RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone brings into existence a 10’ x 10’ blue crystal glyph that could be used to block a 
  hall or doorway. Any man sized or smaller creature touching the glyph will automatically become 
  entrapped within a crystal energy field for 2D3 rounds. Large creatures receive a save versus 
  Wands to avoid the effect, and any huge creature can simply walk through the glyph, destroying it 
  in the process. The glyph can be created once per week and has a duration of 2D3 rounds. 
  417 
  AMBER CATSEYE (P) 
  The Dragons Bane IOUN stone grants a +2 bonus on saving throws against any true dragon’s 
  breath weapon attack. Like a Ring of Resistance a failed save means that half damage will be 
  taken, and a successful save indicates that only ¼ damage is taken from the attack. Dragons are 
  able to sense the power of his IOUN stone, and they will seek to destroy it and its user. 
  418 
  DUSTY ROSE ROD (V/L) 
  This is another of the more powerful IOUN stones, and one that is greatly prized. Once per week 
  this stone can be activated creating a globe of magic resistance around the user for 2D3 rounds 
  which moves along with him. The size and intensity of the field is randomly determined by rolling 
  percentage dice on the following chart: 
   
  01-50 
  5’ radius effect with 05% magic resistance 
  51-85 
  10’ radius effect with 10% magic resistance 
  86-99 
  10’ radius effect with 15% magic resistance 
  100 
  15’ radius effect with 20% magic resistance 
   
  419 
  DEEP PURPLE 
  OCTAHEDRON (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Golem detection has a 30’ range and is usable once per week. Upon activation 
  the stones user can detect any golems by type within the area, and line of sight. The user also has 
  +2 versus Golems in melee combat (which could replace the required magic weapon), inflicting 
  double maximum damage on a roll of 20. The duration of the stones effect is 2D3 rounds.

  LAVENDER FACETED EGG 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Simbilis allows the user to create a Major crystal prison that has a chance to 
  entrap a man sized or smaller creature. Unless the target saves versus Wands the victim will 
  become trapped within a vast crystal extra-dimensional maze for 3D4+3 rounds. The stone is 
  usable once per week, and a super-charged version is known that will entrap a victim for 1D3 
  turns. There is a 50% chance that this stone will crumble after its first use with a +10% chance for 
  each additional use. 
  421 
  BLOOD RED SMOOTH HELIX 
  (P) 
  Through the power of this pair of twinned IOUN stones the user and a creature familiar can 
  choose which of their saving throws is more beneficial. The familiar must be within 30’ for this 
  stone to function. 
  422 
  BRIGHT BLUE PRISM (V/L) 
  This powerful IOUN stone is capable of Rapid Regeneration, replacing lost hit points at a rate of 
  two per round. Once per week when activated by the user this stone will glow brightly for 3D4+3 
  rounds while applying the effect, restoring a maximum of just 30 points of damage. Because of the 
  short duration of the effect this stone is not able to replace lost limbs, but it might replace lost 
  fingers or toes if the duration is more than ten rounds. (See #10 for a similar form of this stone, 
  and more information about regeneration) 
  423 
  DEEP PURPLE ELLIPSOID 
  (V/L) 
  By employing this powerful IOUN stone the user has a chance to gain extremely limited control 
  over Golems of all types. The chance for such control is 30%, allowing the user to halt the Golems 
  attacks for 1D3+2 rounds. The control is broken if the Golem is attacked. The stone is usable once 
  per week, with a range of 30’. There is a 50% chance that this stone will crumble after its first use 
  with a +10% chance for each additional use. 
  424 
  BROWN CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of ultra-sonic power emits a narrow lance of intense sound that can inflict 3D4+3 
  hit points of damage on living tissue. The lance of sound will travel up to 60’ striking a single 
  target. The stone is usable once per week. 
  425 
  LIME GREEN CUBE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of crystalline fabrication allows the user to create solid (no moving parts) common 
  items (chair, table, bucket, rope etc.) made from clear quartz crystal that are permanent until 
  destroyed. Up to 100Lbs of such non-valuable material can be created each day. 
  426 
  DAZZLING WHITE SPHERE 
  (P) 
  This IOUN stone is most useful in the hands of a Cleric. This permanent effect stone allows the 
  Cleric (including Druids) to add +1 to any dice rolled for any memorized Cure type spell. Paladins 
  may also benefit from the stones effects, allowing for 3 points of Lay on Hands healing per level of 
  experience, and for their cure spells when the reach 9th level. This only applies as long as 
  memorized Cure spells are being used, and will not function for cures cast by device or scroll. 
  427 
  SKY BLUE ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  The user of the IOUN stone of accelerated flight can fly as per the spell, but at twice the listed 
  speed, once per day 2D4+2 rounds duration. The super-charged version will have a duration of 1 
  full turn + 2D3 additional rounds. (This is a more powerful version of stone #64). 
  428 
  STEEL SPHERE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the crystal lance will create a 12’ long crystal lance that is equal to a +4 
  weapon. The stone will create one such lance per week for 2D3 rounds. The user rolls a D20 as 
  normal for his attack when using the lance. However, if a 19+ is rolled, immediately roll a second 
  D20 and consult the following chart to determine the amount of damage that is caused by a 
  successful charge attack: 
   
  01-07 
  The lance causes full damage versus the target 
  08-15 
  The lance causes double damage versus the target 
  16-17 
  The lance causes triple damage versus the target 
  18-19 
  The lance causes quadruple damage versus the intended target 
  20 
  The lance pierces the heart of the target creature of 12 hit dice or less causing instant 
  death unless a Successful save versus Wands at a -2 is made. Otherwise it takes 
  quadruple damage. 
   
  429 
  WHITE SMOOTH HELIX 
  (V/L) 
  Another of the valuable twinned IOUN stones that is usable by Clerics (including Druids). When 
  activated once per week for 2D3 rounds all of their Chants, Prayers, and Blesses will add together 
  regardless of their deities, as long as they are of the same general alignment (good, evil, neutral). 
  The stones will find common ground for the effects to combine. Also, through the use of these 
  stones, they would each be able to cast a cure type spell on the same character on the same 
  round. (See #478 for a related stone usable by Fighters, #470 that is usable by Magic Users, and 
  #459 that is usable by Thieves) 
  430 
  BLOOD RED CUBE (I) 
  The IOUN stone of Rasputin has the power to return its user to one hit point whenever -9 hit 
  points is reached from any form of attack or from bleeding. Such stones have but 1D4+1 charges 
  before they are drained and crumble into dust. 
  
  61 | P a g e  
   
  431 
  PALE YELLOW CYLINDER 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the bounding leap allows the user to make up to three jumps, each covering up 
  to 20’, or vertical leaps of 10’. The user may forgo making multiple leaps and instead make one 
  great leap of 60’ forward or 20’ upwards. The stone is usable once per week. 
  432 
  LIGHT BLUE LOZENGE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone causes an effect identical to the confusion ability of an Umber Hulk that affects a 
  single target. (Identical to the 7th level Druid spell, Confusion- PHB-page 63) The duration of the 
  effect is 1D3+2 rounds, and is usable once per week. The target is entitled to a saving throw at -2 
  to negate the effect. Those using this IOUN stone receive a +2 bonus on saves versus confusion. 
  433 
  VIBRANT PURPLE SMOOTH 
  EGG (V/L) 
  This is an extremely powerful IOUN stone that will work against any true Earth Elemental creature. 
  The creature must successfully save versus spells or be sent back to the Elemental Plane from 
  which it has been summoned. The stone is usable once per week with the range of the effect 
  being 30’. It also gives a +20% bonus on attempts to control any summoned Earth Elemental. 
  There is reportedly a super-charged version of this stone that works against any Elemental 
  creature. 
  434 
  LAVENDER MULTI-FACETED 
  CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone is “invisible” to any undead creature of fewer than 6 hit dice. The 
  effect of this stone lasts for 2D4+2 rounds and is only usable once per week. The Undead will 
  simply “ignore” the user of this stone, unless the user performs an attack, or attempts to turn the 
  Undead, negating the stones effect. There are rumors of a rare super-charged version of this stone 
  that is capable of affecting Undead creatures of up to 10 hit dice.  
  435 
  BRIGHT ROSE ROD (I) 
  When the IOUN stone of “position swap” is activated the chosen target figure within 30’ and the 
  user instantaneously switch positions. The effect is instantaneous, which could cause a spell caster 
  to strike himself with his own spell. The stone is usable once per week.  
  436 
  BRIGHT BLUE TEARDROP 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Dimensional Folding changes the physical laws of space-time, allowing for 
  extremely rapid movement for all within 10’ of the user. The entire group moves at double their 
  normal move for the duration of the effect. The stone can be used once per week for 2D3+2 
  rounds. This stone will not allow for any additional attacks of any kind, it affects movement only. 
  There are rumored to be super-charged versions which allow triple the normal movement rate. 
  437 
  PALE TURQUOISE 
  TETRAGONAL (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone creates a set of immense mithril hard digging claws that temporarily 
  replace his hands for 2D3+2 rounds. With them he may dig through 5’ of solid rock or 60’ of loose 
  stones and dirt per round. These talons can be used in melee combat for a single attack per round, 
  inflicting 3D4 hit points of damage on a successful attack. The stone is usable once per week. 
  438 
  DEEP PURPLE SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L) 
  This very potent IOUN stone which defies categorization allows the user to create a “doorway” 
  that leads to a small pocket of Proto-Matter adrift in the Ethereal Plane. The flattened disc is 100’ 
  thick and approximately 300’ in diameter with a small pool of pure water, a grassy sward that is 
  continuously renewed, and several large trees. The mini-plane is stable and safe from most 
  intrusions, making it a perfect safe haven for several adventurers. It also makes an excellent place 
  to keep mounts and other companion creatures. The weather within this portable paradise is 
  almost always clear, with a small Proto-Star shedding a soft light. Creatures left in this place are 
  completely safe and secure, and any plants will flourish without guidance. The Prime Material 
  entry point is visible, and will possibly need guarded. 
  439 
  DUSTY ROSE STAR (P) 
  This is a much sought after IOUN stone by all adventurers. It permits the user to add a +1 to a 
  single ability score of his choice. Once it is attuned for the chosen attribute the effect cannot be 
  changed by its user. It can be changed to a different ability by any future user of the stone. This 
  stone is very powerful and it will stack with any of the standard stones (#001, #002, #003, #004, 
  #005, and #006). It will also take such scores beyond racial maximums, even to one point above 
  18. 
  440 
  DEEP BLUE SMOOTH TORUS 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of “elemental caltrops” creates a 15’ radius area around the user that is carpeted 
  with extremely sharp edged spiny crystals. These crystal spikes are so strong that they can tear 
  through the toughest hide or leather, causing 2D4+2 damage per round on any moving creature. 
  The stone is usable once per week with a duration of 2D3 rounds. 
  441 
  PALE YELLOW FACETED 
  TORUS (P) 
  This IOUN stone is most valuable to a character intending on creating Potions. The energy stored 
  within this stone is quite useful in the blending process of the ingredients involved in the creation 
  of the mixture. Any Potion that is manufactured by the user of this IOUN stone will have the 
  maximum effects. The downside is that the stone will not work with “inferior” ingredients, so the 
  material cost per potion is increased by 50%. (See #575 for a related stone) 
  
  62 | P a g e  
   
  442 
  BRILLIANT GREEN CUBE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Insightful Inspiration is a rather powerful stone that will only have a few uses 
  before it will crumble. When activated the user has a direct connection with a Major Cosmic 
  Personage (the DM) and is able to ask for advice. This can be about something that has been 
  forgotten; some further clue to a puzzle, whatever may be required to succeed at a task. The 
  answer will only be four words, but it will be the absolute truth with no veiled hints. The stone has 
  a 50% chance to crumble on its first use, with a +10% cumulative modifier per usage.  
  443 
  MARBLED BLUE & WHITE 
  CATSEYE (P) 
  This is a most powerful IOUN stone when used by a Cleric. With it the Cleric can use his Cure spells 
  at a distance of up to 30’. A gossamer strand of bluish-white energy briefly connects the user with 
  the target creature allowing the curing effects of Positive energy to be transferred. There must be 
  a continual line of sight to reach the target, and even characters in melee combat can be cured 
  through the use of this stone. 
  444 
  LIME GREEN ELLIPSOID 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of instant amplification is a rather strange stone. It does not affect the user, but 
  instead allows the user to boost an ability score in another individual that he touches. By touching 
  the target the stone transfers energy boosting a random attribute by D3 points (to a maximum of 
  18) for 2D4+2 rounds. The stone is usable once per week. Roll a D8 and consult the following chart 
  to see what attribute is actually affected: 
   
  1 
  The power infuses the target with life energy boosting his level by +1 
  2 
  The power increases Strength  
  3 
  The power increases Dexterity 
  4 
  The power increases Constitution 
  5 
  The power increases Intelligence 
  6 
  The power increases Charisma 
  7 
  The power increases Wisdom 
  8 
  The target can channel the energy to any ability score, and is even able to divide the D3 
  roll between two different abilities. 
   
  445 
  MAROON FACETED 
  TRIANGLE (P) 
  When using the IOUN stone of the True name the user has a 25% chance to know the true name 
  of most creatures from the Outer Planes. Be warned that most creatures of this nature will do all 
  that they can to eliminate any who know their true name. 
  446 
  DARK ORANGE 
  OCTOHEDRON (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of recovery will allow the user to search for a lost, known item. The range of the 
  effect is almost unlimited. The stone is usable once per week with a duration of 2D3 rounds and 
  points the user in the correct direction. The super charged stone of this type will actually Teleport 
  the sought after lost item of 20 pounds or less to the user. 
  447 
  PURPLE PRISM (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows the user to swim and maneuver in the water like a fish at a speed of 12” 
  per round, even if wearing armor. The stone does not grant any form of water breathing, only a 
  more rapid form of locomotion. The stone is usable once per week for 2D4+2 rounds. 
  448 
  BRIGHT ROSE RECTANGLE 
  (P) 
  This is one of the few IOUN stones that will benefit a familiar, mount, or companion creature of 
  the owner. The stone draws on the users life energy to augment the creature’s armor class by +1, 
  adds +1 hit point for each of the creatures hit dice, and also will give the target a +1 on any 
  required saving throw. 
  449 
  PURPLE AQUAMARINE 
  SPINDLE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone Greater Magnetic Embrace will generate a powerful magnetic field around the 
  user filling an area from 5’ to 20’ away, like a great ring. Any metallic item will be pulled towards 
  the ground suffering a -4 penalty to hit the user, including any missile weapon attacks which have 
  metallic components. The field lasts for 2D3+2 rounds, travels with the user and is usable once per 
  week. 
  450 
  BRILLIANT GREEN SPHERE 
  (P) 
  This is the IOUN stone of power melding that is prized by adventurers across the domains. This 
  powerful stone will allow similar shaped and colored IOUN stones to stack their powers, even 
  allowing for scores to rise above 18. This allows the full benefit from both stones. However it takes 
  a full two weeks for this IOUN stone to attune itself to the user and the multiple stones. This is a 
  permanent effect stone.  
  451 
  PALE LAVENDER 
  RHOMBOID (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of precision spell casting allows the spell caster to determine the actual shape of 
  the area affected by some spells. For example the user would be able to shape a Fireball spells 
  area to avoid hitting companions, and to best encompass his enemies. The stone is usable once 
  per week for the casting of a single spell. This stone has a 50% chance of crumbling after its first 
  use with a +10% modifier for each additional use. 
  
  63 | P a g e  
   
  452 
  DUSTY ROSE CYLINDER (P) 
  This is a most valuable IOUN stone for any character with a familiar or mount. It allows the user to 
  transfer a small amount of their hit points to the familiar when it is subjected to attacks, taking the 
  damage from his own total. The user reduces his hit point total by the number that is transferred 
  with a maximum of 2 hit points that can be shared per level. The familiar must be within line of 
  sight for the transfer to function. 
  453 
  PINK DODECAHEDRON (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Sonic Resonance will emit from the user a single burst of sub-sonic power. It 
  creates a cone shaped sound effect that is 30’ long with a 20’ base. Any metallic items within the 
  area will begin to rapidly vibrate from the sub-sonic pulse of sound; making any attacks made with 
  them suffer a -2 penalty to hit. The stone is usable for one round and the duration of the after-
  effects from the pulse is 2D3 rounds. 
  454 
  MAROON RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is used to create an area of absolute Forbiddance that will affect any non-friendly 
  creatures. The user is capable of filling a 20’ radius area with a compulsion for all enemies of 10 hit 
  dice or less to avoid passing through the designated area unless a save versus Wands is made. The 
  compulsion lasts for 2D3 rounds and is usable once per week. It does not affect any kind of missile 
  attack. 
  455 
  GREEN RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of duplication allows the user to create a non-magical duplicate of a single 
  common item. The user must be able to touch the item being duplicated, and the item cannot 
  weigh more than 200 lbs., nor can it be comprised of precious metals or gems. The copy will last as 
  long as the original. The stone is usable once per week. (See #466 for a more powerful version of 
  this stone). 
  456 
  LAVENDER FACETED CONE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of physical combat will only function for characters that use their bare hands to 
  attack. The stone is usable once per week for a duration of 2D3+2 rounds. Each attack during that 
  time will have a +2 to hit and will inflict 1D8+4 hit points of damage. It is rumored that there is a 
  super-charged version that will inflict 1D12+6 damage on each successful hit. 
  457 
  CERELEAN BLUE ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the limited Time Loop is another of the powerful limited use stones. When it is 
  activated the user will repeat exactly whatever he did in the previous round. Attack rolls on the 
  D20 are the same, including all forms of damage that was inflicted. Any spells that were cast are 
  able to be cast once again, with the same outcome. The stone will have a 50% chance to crumble 
  after being used the first time, with a +10% cumulative chance on each use. 
  458 
  DEEP RED SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of greater Protection will radiate a +2 bonus to any saving throws for the user and 
  any friendly creatures that are within 10’ of the user. This also includes saves made for any 
  magical items that are in the area. The stone can be activated once per week for 2D3+2 rounds in 
  duration. The stone will have a 50% chance to crumble after being used the first time, with a +10% 
  cumulative chance on each use. 
  459 
  PEARL BROWN SMOOTH 
  HELIX (V/L) 
  This potent twinned IOUN stone is usable by members of the Thief class (including Assassins). If 
  one of the users is attempting a back attack, and the other is in view to the front of the target 
  creature the attacker has an additional +2 to his chance to hit, doing an additional +2 damage 
  (added before multiplying for level). Or an additional 10% bonus on an assassination attempt. This 
  is due to his “partners” distracting the target (the partner cannot attack on the round that he is 
  causing a distraction). (See #429 for a related stone usable by Clerics, and #470 that is usable by 
  Magic Users, and #478 that is usable by Fighters).  
  460 
  BLOOD RED FACETED HELIX 
  (C) 
  This powerful IOUN stone has but 1D3 charges before it will crumble, but they are extremely 
  potent. The user may target any evil creature from the Lower Outer Planes and affect is as the 
  spell Banishment (Magic User 7th level, UA, pg 61). The effect is cast at the level of the user or 
  14th level, whichever is greater. 
  461 
  DEEP PURPLE FACETED 
  CONE (I) 
  The power of this IOUN stone can be activated once per week by the user. For one round only any 
  physical or spell attacks which strike and damage the user will actually inflict that damage back on 
  the attacker. The stone will not affect breath weapon attacks, but it will affect direct hit point 
  damage from spell type attacks like Magic Missile, or blows from weapons. The stone is usable 
  once per week and has a 50% chance to crumble after the first use, with a +10% cumulative 
  chance per use thereafter. 
  462 
  PINK ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of sunlight storage is a rather potent weapon when used against the Undead. 
  Once per week the stone can be used to unleash 2D3+1 pencil thin strands of pure sunlight that 
  will strike at random Undead creatures within 30’ inflicting 2D3+2 damage per beam. Roll for each 
  strand separately since a target may be struck by multiple beams. The stone must be exposed to 
  actual sunlight for at least 24 hours per week in order to re-charge. 
  
  64 | P a g e  
   
  463 
  PALE GREEN 
  DODECAHEDRON (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Absolute Disbelief is a strange item that defies understanding. When activated 
  the user can choose a single creature of any size to disbelieve and for the duration of 1D4+2 
  rounds the creature cannot see or react to the user in any way…they simply do not exist! 
  Creatures of more than 10 hit dice receive a save versus Magic at a -4 to avoid the effects. Attacks 
  of any kind that are made by the user will negate the effects of this stone. The stone is usable once 
  per week, but it will not work if the user is actually in the grasp of the target creature. 
  464 
  PINK & GREEN RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Absolute Temporal Inversion affects a 30’ area when activated. 50% of all 
  damage suffered during the previous round, from weapon attacks (includes claws, bites, etc.) on 
  friendly creatures is nullified and removed. This will not affect any damage from spell attacks of 
  any kind. The stone is usable once per week and has a 50% chance to crumble after the first use, 
  with a +10% cumulative chance per use thereafter. 
  465 
  LAVENDER TEARDROP (I)  
  The IOUN stone of incredible luck is a most powerful item; jealously guarded, and much sought 
  after by adventuring groups. This stone has but 1D3 charges which cannot be replaced by any 
  means, short of CRYSTALLE. The user can activate a charge instantaneously allowing him to 
  virtually change his luck in any situation. A missed saving throw by the user or any item carried is 
  now made, a missed attack will hit, and a horribly damaging event of any kind can be completely 
  eliminated by some freak form of interference. After the last charge is used the stone will crumble 
  into dust and vanish forever. (Slightly more powerful than #53) 
  466 
  PALE LAVENDER SMOOTH 
  EGG (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of ultimate duplication allows the user to create a temporary duplicate of any 
  item of less than 100 lbs. The item to be copied must be handled by the user for a minimum of 
  one complete turn before the process will function. Thus a magical weapon could be duplicated or 
  a magical item. The copy will last for 2D3 rounds before vanishing, and any item can only ever be 
  copied one time…ever. The power of this stone is usable once per week. This stone has a 50% 
  chance to crumble when it is first used with a +10% modifier for each additional use. 
  467 
  PURPLE LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Multiple Realities is a rather unique item that allows the user to choose 
  between possibilities. For the next 1D4 rounds only, each attack, saving throw and damage roll is 
  actually rolled three times. The user can choose which of the rolls he will use, navigating his way 
  through several possible outcomes. The stone is usable only once per week, and has a 50% chance 
  to crumble after it is used with a +10% cumulative chance on each successive use. 
  468 
  DARK ORANGE SPHERE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Life’s Breath is a most useful item. When activated it will create a “bubble” of 
  absolutely fresh clean Elemental air that fills a 20’ radius around and travelling with the user. The 
  air pocket will last for 2D4+2 rounds allowing for travel through noxious fumes and even under 
  water for a short time. The fresh air will reduce the damage from any gas based breath weapon 
  attacks by 50% if activated before the attack takes place, and any saves are made at +2 on the 
  D20. 
  469 
  LAVENDER HEXAGONAL 
  ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the ultimate fates allows a user to “see” the last minutes of some dead 
  creature’s existence. When remains are found they almost always retain a psychic impression of 
  what occurred nearby at the time of their death. Like a silent movie the user can see the final 
  moments playing out in his mind, which in some cases may be quite dangerous. The stone is 
  usable once per week and the vision lasts for 1D3 rounds if the remains can be touched, or for but 
  one round if the remains are out of reach but within 30’ of the user. 
  470 
  DUSTY ROSE SMOOTH 
  HELIX (V/L) 
  This twinned set of IOUN stones is usable by Magic Users (including Illusionists). Should the two 
  linked spell casters choose to cast the same spell at the same target on the same round they will 
  find that their efforts are much more effective. The targets saving throw (if any) is made at a -2 
  penalty, and the targets magic resistance is reduced by 20% against the combined attack. (See 
  #429 for a related stone usable by Clerics, and #478 that is usable by Fighters, and #459 that is 
  usable by Thieves) 
  471 
  ORANGE DODECAHEDRON 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone affects rock and dirt creating a horizontal avalanche that moves away from the 
  user in a cone shaped area. The distance is 60’ and is 30’ wide at the base. Any soil and loose rocks 
  less than 50 lbs. are moved in the desired direction. The tumbling rocks will inflict 2D4+2 damage 
  to any man sized or smaller creature caught within the area of effect, and also carries them away 
  in the direction of the flow. The stone is usable once per week, and the debris will move 20’ per 
  round until reaching the 60’ range. 
  472 
  COBALT BLUE ELLIPSOID (P) 
  This is a very unusual IOUN stone that has a few uses. The user gives off an aura of “cold-
  bloodedness” that lowers his body temperature to the surrounding area which conceals him from 
  any form of infrared detection. This is a permanent effect stone. 
  
  65 | P a g e  
   
  473 
  SOFT BLACK CYLINDER (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows the user to target a single magical spell casting device (Wand, Staff, or Rod) 
  within 30’ causing it to go dormant for 1D4+2 rounds unless the items wielder makes a successful 
  save versus Wands. If the save fails the powers of the device cannot be employed until the end of 
  the effect. The stones power is usable once per week. 
  474 
  INDIGO BLUE SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is most effective at slowing down enemies. When activated it will create a 20’ 
  diameter area that will sprout thousands of small tendrils of stone that will grasp at the feet of any 
  who stray into the area. There is a 30% chance that the victim will be held fast (bend bars to 
  escape), but in all cases the victims will be entangled and slowed for 1D4+1 rounds before they 
  can break free from the grasping stone. The stone is usable once per week. 
  475 
  BRIGHT ROSE SMOOTH 
  HELIX (V/L) 
  This powerful twinned set of IOUN stones allows for the sharing of other IOUN stones between 
  two characters. They may freely exchange stones between themselves without the need for re-
  attunement. If they are within 10’ of each other, and not otherwise occupied, they may simply will 
  the IOUN stones to transfer, otherwise they must be captured in order to be transferred. 
  476 
  DARK GREEN LOZENGE 
  (V/L) 
  When activating the IOUN stone of size alteration the user can choose to be from as small as 6” or 
  up to as large as 12’ tall. The user and all of his equipment undergo the transformation in just 1 
  round. The stone is usable once per week with a duration of up to 2D4+2 rounds. The user is able 
  to voluntarily end the effects at any time. (This is a more powerful version of stone #262) 
  477 
  WHITE OCTOHEDRON (V/L) 
  The Clerics IOUN stone of the deities blessing gives a +1 modifier for the effects of any Bless, 
  Prayer, or Chant spells cast by the cleric using this stone. The stone is usable once per week for a 
  duration of 2D4+2 rounds.  
  478 
  EMERALD GREEN SMOOTH 
  HELIX (V/L) 
  This is one of the extremely potent twinned IOUN stones, that when separated can be used by two 
  different Fighters (includes Rangers, Cavaliers, and Paladins). If both of the users are engaged in 
  melee combat with the same creature they each gain a +1 to hit bonus as they use communication 
  through the stone to coordinate their attacks. The stone is usable once per week with a duration 
  of 2D4+2 rounds. (See #429 for a related stone usable by Clerics, and #470 that is usable by Magic 
  Users, and #459 that is usable by Thieves)  
  479 
  MAROON ROD (P) 
  This is another IOUN stone that is extremely beneficial to any character with a familiar or mount. 
  The power of this stone will transfer energy across the psychic link, allowing for the sharing of a 
  special pool of an additional 10 hit points.  
  480 
  FLASHING YELLOW SPINDLE 
  (P) 
  The IOUN stone of extreme enhancement will add +1 to more than one of the owners’ ability 
  scores simultaneously. The scores can be modified to a maximum of 18. Roll a D20 on the 
  following chart to see the effectiveness of the stones power: 
   
  01-02 
  Intelligence and Charisma 
  03-04 
  Wisdom and Constitution 
  05-06 
  Strength and Constitution 
  07-09

  10-12 
  Charisma and Wisdom 
  13-15 
  Dexterity and Strength 
  16-19 
  Intelligence and Wisdom 
  20 
  The most powerful version adds +1 to two abilities chosen by the user 
   
  481 
  GLOWING ROSE SMOOTH 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the Ultimate Defense will temporarily modify the user’s armor class by +6 
  against any melee attacks. However, because of the massive defense the user cannot attack while 
  the stone is active, this is a completely defensive IOUN stone. The stone is usable once per week 
  with a duration of 1D4+2 rounds. The stone has a 50% chance to crumble after it is used with a 
  +10% cumulative chance on each successive use.  
  482 
  LAVENDER FACETED 
  PYRAMID (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the Incredibly Discordant Disturbance will quite possibly be a terror to enemy 
  spell casters. Usable once per week, the user can target an enemy within 30’ and unleash the 
  stones power. The target must save versus Wands or be the center of the effect even if he moves 
  (a successful save places the center of the effect 1’ away in any direction, the target may move 
  away). The area is filled with a cacophony of noises, flickering panes of light, ungodly smells, and 
  great gusts of wind that stir up small clouds of irritating dust. The victim must save versus Spells to 
  successfully cast any spells while caught in the stones grip. 
  483 
  LIME GREEN LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The Thieves Helper IOUN stone is very valuable to members of that class. Once per week when 
  making a single surprise backstab attempt this stone will add a +2 to hit and damage, but in 
  addition the user rolls 1D3+1. This is the additional number of levels that the user has when 
  deciding the level of damage (doubled, tripled, quadrupled etc.).  
  
  66 | P a g e  
   
  484 
  COBALT BLUE SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L)  
  This is another of the IOUN stones associated with a different Quasi-Elemental plane. The effect, 
  that is usable once per week on targets within 30’, releases a cloud of super fine salt laden dust 
  drawn from the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Salt. Many creatures that are caught within the cloud 
  suffer severe desiccation (the DM will rule on what forms of creatures are affected), or at the very 
  least must save versus poison or be blinded by the salty spray. 
  485 
  YELLOW ROD (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates a link to the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Steam, releasing a huge gout of 
  super-hot vapor at a point designated by the user. The cloud manifests in a 20’ diameter cloud 
  that must be within 30’ of the user. The steam cloud causes 3D4+3 damage on any creatures 
  caught within the area of effect. The spell even works underwater in an area similar to a fireball. If 
  cast on surface water the steam forms a huge cloud of obscuring hot fog that will effectively blind 
  any who use infravision. This stone is usable once per week. 
  486 
  CLEAR PINK SMOOTH EGG 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the Resilient Strike is a most useful item in the hands of a warrior. Once per 
  week the stone can be activated for 2D3+2 rounds. During this time you have a devastating effect 
  on any enemy’s weapons. On any attack roll that you make of an unmodified 18+ the opponent 
  must save versus Wands or have his weapon knocked from his hand. Of course if the enemy is 
  using only claws and teeth there is no effect. 
  487 
  DEEP PURPLE FACETED 
  RECTANGLE (V/L)  
  The IOUN stone of Mechanical Foresight allows the user to detect mechanical traps that are 
  hidden by natural stone. The stone is usable once per week, with a duration of 1D3 rounds. The 
  user can actually see the device and possibly determine what will happen when it is activated. The 
  stone has a 50% chance to crumble after it is used with a +10% cumulative chance on each 
  successive use. 
  488 
  PULSING WHITE CUBE (P) 
  This IOUN stone has a rather simple function, but one that could save any characters life. The user 
  has a +2 bonus on any saving throws allowed versus any normal Curse. If the Curse is of a type 
  that normally has no saving throw the owner still receives a save at a -2. The stone is a permanent 
  effect stone. The extremely rare super-charged version of this stone makes the owner totally 
  immune to any Curse as long as the stone is in use. This will not in any way affect a Curse sent as 
  punishment by a deity, or one that is caused by an Artifact. A flawed IOUN stone is not a normal 
  Curse and is unaffected by this stone. 
  489 
  LAVENDER CONNECTED 
  SPHERES (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Spell Implantation is a very unusual stone. Using its power a spell caster (either 
  Cleric or Magic User) is able to place a simple spell into the mind of another character, or even a 
  familiar if the creature is willing. The implanted spell must be of 2nd level or lower and any spell 
  caster is only able to have one spell implanted at the same time. The spell will remain implanted 
  for 1 day per level of the caster.  
   
  At any time, when the spell caster is within 30’ of the spell implantation recipient, the spell may be 
  released. The spell caster speaks a single word to release the spell, and is also able to cast one of 
  his own memorized spells during the same round. During the spells implantation the spell caster is 
  free to memorize another spell. (The implanted spell is like a spell stored in a Ring of Spell Storing) 
  When released the spell originates from the “host” character. 
  490 
  BLOOD RED TEARDROP 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Rapid Firing is beneficial to any missile using character. It effectively doubles 
  the rate of fire that the user can make with missile weapons of any kind for 1D3 rounds. The stone 
  is usable once per week, and will NOT add to any sub-class archers bonus’ (they are already quite 
  powerful enough). 
  491 
  DARK GREEN PRISM (V/L)  
  The IOUN stone of Fluid Buoyancy is of benefit to more than just the owner. Once per week for 
  the duration of 2D4+4 rounds the stone will create a 20’ radius area on the surface of any non-
  caustic fluid that is capable of supporting several dozen characters. The area moves with the 
  caster at his movement rate. Even mounts can be supported by the effects of this stone. 
  492 
  DEEP BLUE LOZENGE (C) 
  This IOUN stone was protected for many ages by a neutral Dao, a very unusual relative of the 
  Djinni, Jann, Marid and Efreeti. He is linked to this stone and can be summoned by the owner 1D3 
  times before he will retrieve the stone and take it back to the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral. 
  (See Dao listing in MM2, page 32 for complete details on what this powerful being can accomplish) 
  If summoned frivolously he will pervert any of the summoners desires, otherwise he will first 
  assure himself of the stones safety before complying with any reasonable request. 
  Roll again on tables to see which IOUN stone is being guarded. 
  
  67 | P a g e  
   
  493 
  DUSTY ROSE SPINDLE  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Defensive Sundering is a quite powerful item. The user can simply attempt to 
  tear an opponent’s defensive spells up to 4th level apart (Shield, Protection versus Evil, Minor 
  Globe of Invulnerability, etc.). For each such spell the target rolls a save versus Wands, failure 
  indicating that the spell has been shredded and nullified. Any such spell in effect is attacked when 
  this stone is activated. The stones power is usable once per week on a single target within 30’. The 
  stone has a 50% chance to crumble after it is used with a +10% cumulative chance on each 
  successive use. 
  494 
  CLEAR PINK FACETED 
  RECTANGLE (P) 
  The IOUN stone of Exemplary Olfactory Amplification is a handy item for Rangers. The user’s sense 
  of smell is so keen that it gives a 50% chance to track animals by their scent alone. 
  495 
  LIME GREEN STAR (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Material Transformation will allow the user to take a naturally occurring grown 
  substance (leather, wood or rope for example) and give it extreme hardness, yet not affecting any 
  of its flexible properties. The transformation of the material is not permanent, having a duration of 
  one full turn, and if “attacked” the material receives a +3 bonus on any saving throws. Ropes are 
  harder to break, wooden doors are as dense as iron, a bow would be exceptionally durable against 
  fire attacks, and pouches would be much more sturdy. Leather armor transformed by this stone 
  would be the equivalent of +3 armor for the wearer as regards his armor class, but it does not 
  have any magical bonuses for saving throws. The stone is usable once per week. 
  496 
  VIBRANT PURPLE 
  HEXAGONAL ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Planar Travel is one of the most powerful IOUN stones ever discovered, 
  perhaps another of the gifts of CRYSTALLE lost by its owner ages ago. Using this stone permits its 
  owner to travel to almost any of the other Planes of existence for short periods of time. For 2D6+4 
  rounds the user can travel another Plane while the stone alters his form slightly into a form best 
  suited to survive the rigors of the new realm. The stone can only be used once per week, and be 
  warned that any form of planar travel is extremely dangerous. 
  497 
  PURPLE & LAVENDER ROD 
  (P)  
  The IOUN stone of Masterful Writing is most useful to members of the Magic User Class. Using this 
  stone clears ones thoughts of distractions thus enabling the spell caster to write much clearer and 
  faster (it normally takes one day of preparation per spell level to copy or transcribe a spell onto a 
  scroll). Scroll spells and spells placed within the casters book can be transcribed at half the cost 
  and half the time. The magical writing is done with exceptional skill. This is a permanent effect 
  stone. The user, of course, must supply all of the needed supplies. 
  498 
  COPPER SPHERE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone will allow the user to draw a burst of energy from the Quasi-Elemental Plane of 
  Lightning. Usable once per week on a target up to 30’ away, this stone will bring into existence a 
  10’ diameter ball lightning. Metal wearing creatures within 10’ of the ball will be struck by many 
  small bolts of lightning that will inflict a total of 2D4+4 points of damage (double the amount 
  rolled if wet or standing in water). The ball only remains for one round before it is depleted, but it 
  can strike many targets…friend or foe alike! 
  499 
  PEARL WHITE CUBE (I)  
  This IOUN stone is perhaps the most powerful of the IOUN stones that are for use by members of 
  the Cleric class. When activated the Cleric and one held character are instantly transported 
  directly to the border realm located between the Positive Material Plane and the Quasi-Elemental 
  Plane of Mineral. The Cleric and his companion begin to absorb positive energy at a rate of 
  2D10+2 hit points per round. The amount that is being absorbed is rolled in secret by the DM; the 
  user has no idea as to the amount of energy that is being absorbed.  
   
  Care must be taken, for no character will survive with more than twice his maximum hit points. If 
  this happens he would immediately transform into pure energy and be gone forever. The stone is 
  usable once per week and will last for 2D4 rounds before the Cleric and his companion are 
  returned to the Prime Material Plane. The gained energy can be lost as normal due to any damage, 
  but after 24 hours the recipients hit points return to normal. The stone is usable only once per 
  week, and has a 50% chance to crumble after it is used with a +10% cumulative chance on each 
  successive use. 
  500 
  GLOWING ROSE SPHERE (P) 
  This is the IOUN stone of all IOUN stones; the ultimate prize for any adventuring group. Only one 
  such stone has ever been recorded, and Siljameer Varooste valued it above every other stone he 
  possessed, as did his apprentice Quann’ Ra-Tioll Moorchlyne when it was passed down after the 
  death of his friend. This is perhaps the most powerful stone ever discovered, and it was most 
  assuredly a gift received from CRYSTALLE himself. This IOUN stone will add +1 to every ability 
  score (to a maximum of 18), and also adds +1 level of experience to the user. Even among friends 
  Moorchlyne could feel the cold stares of envy whenever this stone was in use, most of the time it 
  was kept stored, where it would be safe. 
   
  
  68 | P a g e  
   
  Our victory was finally at hand, and the ancient treasures of these forbidding ruins were 
  ours to keep. The ultimate prize…we found more than a dozen of the wondrous IOUN stones 
  that were cleverly hidden within the skull of an ancient dragon. Each was a different color 
  and shape, all of them glowing with an inner fire. With great care we removed them from 
  their hiding place and when they touched our flesh they called to us…a soft tingle that 
  travelled through hands and arm, a gentle touch like liquid song.

  Table #6 - IOUN stones #501-#600 – Detailed  
  D100 IOUN Stone 
  Effect 
  501 
  PALE GREEN RHOMBOID (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone has a +1 bonus to hit and damage against all winged flying creatures. 
  This bonus does not include insects or Dragons of any kind. 
  502 
  DUSTY ROSE TEARDROP (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone has a +1 bonus to hit and damage against any form of aquatic 
  creature. This bonus does not include Dragons of any kind. 
  503 
  DARK GREEN SPHERE (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone has a +1 to hit and damage against any form of True Giant. 
  504 
  LIGHT BLUE RHOMBOID (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone has a +1 to hit and damage against any form of reptile or amphibian. 
  This does not include Dragons of any kind. 
  505 
  BRIGHT ROSE LOZENGE (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone has a +1 bonus to hit and damage against any form of insect, including 
  the many known “giant” varieties.  
  506 
  DARK ORANGE STAR (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone has a +1 bonus to hit and damage against any mammals, including 
  humans. This does not include demi-humans (Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Half-orcs, and Halflings) or 
  any form of True Giant. 
  507 
  PURPLE ROD (P) 
  The user of this IOUN stone has a +2 bonus to hit and damage against any form of Dragon, or 
  Dragon-kin. Be warned however, that true Dragons can detect the power within this stone and will 
  do everything in their power to destroy both the stone and any who would dare to use it. 
  508 
  CLEAR PINK CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Absolute Bravery is most powerful in the hands of a warrior, but many other 
  character classes could use it to some extent. If you are holding a set spear, or any other long 
  edged weapon (pole arm) when facing a charging enemy, you receive a +2 bonus to hit the 
  creature during the first round of combat. And you will have an opportunity to strike before it 
  reaches you, with a successful hit inflicting double damage. The stone can be activated once per 
  week and is usable against one charge only. 
  509 
  DARK BLUE OCTAHEDRON 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Super-Human Ability is usable, and sought after by members of every character 
  class. The user is able to activate this stones power once per week, releasing a surge of energy into 
  any one of his six attributes (Strength, Intelligence, Charisma, Wisdom, Dexterity, and 
  Constitution) boosting the chosen ability by 1D3 points. The boost will grant all of the new abilities 
  advantages for a short duration of 1D4+2 rounds. The chosen ability can even be raised above 18 
  by the power of this stone. However whenever any ability score is raised above 18 the stone has a 
  50% chance to crumble the first time, with a +10% modifier for each additional use that raises the 
  chosen ability score to above 18.  
  510 
  CLEAR ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of instant access is of great aid to Thieves. The user is able to cast a Knock spell 
  once per day on a single lock within 10’ of the user.  
  511 
  LIGHT BLUE RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  Using this IOUN stone gives its owner incredible dodging abilities. During the time of its activation, 
  every time that an enemy rolls a 19 or 20 to score a hit the owner of this IOUN stone will have a 
  25% chance to roll away from the blow as long as there is available room, reducing the damage 
  that was received by 50%. The stone can be activated once per week and the effect lasts 2D4+2 
  rounds.

  BRIGHT GREEN LOZENGE 
  (V/L)  
  This IOUN stone stores energy that the user is able to use once per week for 2D3 rounds, or until 
  the stored energy is exhausted. The energy is released in the form of either to hit bonuses or 
  damage bonuses or a mixture of both. The stone is able to store a maximum of 10 points of 
  energy. Once used for any of its energy reserves, the stone will need to “rest” for a full week 
  before it will allow any energy to be unleashed. This stone regains one point of energy for each 
  day of rest (ten days to regain a full charge if depleted).

  THE KNOWN MICRO IOUN STONES: PART 1 
   
  These IOUN stones have the exact same shape and color of the larger permanent type, but the effects of these stone are only usable for a 
  short length of time. It is believed that they were not immersed for a long enough time in the Positive Material Plane, perhaps having 
  been pushed too far into the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral during one of the frequent expansions of the energy plane. 
   
  They still have value, and the abilities they grant, even if of a temporary nature, are still sought after by adventurers. Many powerful 
  Mages use these smaller stones in the fabrication of various magic items when combined with IOUN dust. Usually they are confined 
  within “globes” of the fine dust which will amplify their power, making them as functional as their larger counter-parts. As pendants, 
  rings, wands, and the tips of staffs they are quite impressive. (#’s 513-528)

  SPECIAL FORMS OF IOUN STONES: SECTION B  
   
  THE DRUSY IOUN STONES OF ARDRUS BE-TA’ RYU 
   
  These rather unique IOUN stones are smooth structures of drusy quartz, similar in appearance to a solidified geode. They each have the 
  ability to hold one Cleric / Druid or Magic User / Illusionist spell, of the given level (see chart below). A character of the appropriate level 
  is able to store one spell within such a stone, gaining use of this additional power at a later time; after casting that spell, he can replace it 
  with the same spell or another of the same level. If drusy stones are found with spells already stored within them, only a character of the 
  appropriate level and class required is able to cast the stored spell, clearing the stone for future use. 
   
  Many times when found they are merely small, grayish lumps of material; the surface of these stones will slowly crumble away when 
  attuned to either a Cleric (including Druid) or Magic User (including Illusionist). This reveals the polished and vibrant stone that lies 
  beneath; a smooth, egg shaped stone about inch long. Each of the 16 drusy stones has an outer layer comprised of a different translucent 
  colored stone which contains a small cluster of micro-fine internal crystals. Many adventurers who find these stones initially fail to realize 
  how important they are, never testing the ugly gray rocks as IOUN stones. (#’s 529-544)

  DEEP RED ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the stunning impact is of most value to a member of the fighter class. The 
  stone can be activated once per week for 2D3 rounds. While activated, any successful strike by the 
  user will drive a man-sized or smaller enemy back 1D10’ and any melee attacks made by the target 
  on the next round will be at a -2 to hit, and if successful they will only inflict ½ damage. The super-
  charged version of this IOUN stone will enable the user to drive back any sized creature. 
  546 
  PURPLE & WHITE CUBE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone causes a small pea sized ball of white fire to appear at a target point within 30’. 
  This ball expands rapidly to a 10’ diameter inflicting 4D4 fire damage to any figure caught in the 
  area. It is usable once per week. 
  547 
  PALE GREEN CATSEYE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone causes a small pea sized ball of crackling ice to appear at a target point within 
  30’.The ball expands rapidly to a 10’ diameter inflicting 4D4 cold damage to any figure caught in 
  the area. It is usable once per week. 
  548 
  PEARL BROWN SPHERE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone causes a small pea sized ball of sizzling electrical energy to appear at a target 
  point within 30’. It then expands rapidly to a 10’ diameter inflicting 4D4 damage to any figure 
  caught in the area. It is usable once per week. 
  549 
  DEEP BLACK FACETED LENS 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone causes a small pea sized ball of water to appear at a target point within 30’. This 
  ball expands rapidly to a 10’ diameter inflicting 4D4 damage to any fire based figure caught in the 
  area. It is usable once per week. 
  550 
  BRIGHT WHITE ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Lawful Fortitude is suspected of being another one of CRYSTALLES gifts. Once 
  every 100 days this stone can be activated with awe inspiring effect. Any Lawful creature within 
  30’ that is allied with the user gains a +2 to hit, damage, Armor Class, and saving throws. The 
  effect lasts for 2D4+4 rounds before fading. Only one such stone has ever been recorded, and it 
  was lost many centuries ago in the depths of the Ghalliak Swamps. Legend says that when the 
  time is right the stone will reappear to aid in mankind’s eternal fight against the forces of Chaos. 
  551 
  PALE AQUAMARINE SPHERE 
  (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone is able to breathe water for 2D3 rounds. It is usable once per day.  
  552 
  MAROON ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of Demonic rejection creates a pulse of distortion that will possibly prevent 
  demonic gates from functioning. Any demon attempting to Gate in reinforcements within 30’ of 
  this stone when it is active will have a -25% chance that the gate will work. Demon hunters 
  especially prize this stone and are willing to trade much to obtain one. This stone is usable once 
  per week for 3D4 rounds and has a 50% chance to crumble after its first use with a +10% modifier 
  for each additional use. 
  
  73 | P a g e  
   
  553 
  SMALL BRIGHT BLUE 
  LOZENGE (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone receives one automatic save per day versus a Paralysis attack of any 
  kind. This includes creature, device or spell attacks. 
  554 
  PALE BLUE HEXAGONAL 
  ROD (V/L) 
  This is another of the extremely rare, limited use IOUN stones that is a possible danger for the 
  user. Once per week it effectively causes a single chosen IOUN stone to work at double efficiency. 
  (Double the range / double any +’s / double any damage / etc.) But the affected stone and this 
  stone will each have a 50% chance to crumble after being used the first time, with a +10% 
  cumulative chance on each use. (I strongly suggest that each DM make his own guidelines as to 
  which IOUN stones can be affected by this stone) 
  555 
  PALE LAVENDER SMOOTH 
  HELIX (V/L) 
  These twinned IOUN stones allow for the two users to employ their best saving throw versus any 
  attack form. This Stone will not transfer any type of magical bonus between the two characters, 
  except for any benefit or bonus gained from another IOUN stone.  
  556 
  RED SNOWFLAKE (P) 
  The IOUN stone of the Phantom Limb is of incredible benefit to a character that has at some time 
  in his past lost a limb (hand, foot, arm or leg). The power contained within the stone will create a 
  hazy energy field that will function exactly as if it were the missing appendage. 
  557 
  SMALL CLEAR SPHERE (P) 
  This IOUN stone grants the owner a 2% Magic Resistance. The greatest benefit of this stone is if 
  placed into an IOUN sand matrix these small stones will stack with each other and any other type 
  of Magic resistance IOUN stone. 
  558 
  RUBY RED RECTANGLE (V/L) 
  Once per week the power of this IOUN stone can be used to cause a weapon held by the user to 
  become coated in a spiny crust of sharp edged crystals for 2D4 rounds. On any successful strikes 
  these crystals will inflict 1D6 additional damage. Also the target of the hit must save versus poison 
  or be incapacitated for the next round from the splinters of crystal that have pierced his flesh. 
  559 
  BRIGHT GREEN FACETED 
  TORUS (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is quite different from almost all of the others. It allows the user to function as a 
  conduit, draining energy from another target. Roll a D6 for the random power that is affected 
  when attuned. Once per week the user has a chance to affect the stated power by a roll of 1D3 
  points on any single target creature that is touched, with the effect lasting for a duration of 1D4+1 
  rounds. The power of this IOUN stone will not take any ability score below 15. These points are 
  then added for the same amount of time to the user.

  PALE GREEN HEXAGONAL 
  ROD (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of rapid molecular agitation allows a character to raise the temperature of 1 cubic 
  foot of water to boiling point. The stone is usable once per week. The super-charged version of 
  this stone will instantly change the 1 cubic foot of water to steam creating extreme pressure. The 
  DM can determine the effects of this stone on a case by case basis. The power will not affect any 
  water that is part of a creature. 
  561 
  WHITE CYLINDER (I) (P) 
  This IOUN stone is quite unusual, but used well by any owner. After attunement the stone can be 
  touched to any single magic item that can be held in one hand (scroll, potion, sword, ring, etc.). 
  The item is fused, fitting inside the small stone where it is stored until needed. At any time the 
  user can issue a silent command and the stone will instantly place the item in his hand. 
  562 
  SMALL PALE YELLOW 
  CYLINDER (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone can Jump once per day with a maximum distance of 30’, with a vertical 
  leap of up to 15’. 
  563 
  BRIGHT BLUE ROD (I) 
  This IOUN stone functions as a Thought Shield as if the user had an Intelligence of 22. This helps 
  create a strong barrier against any form of Psionic attack. The stone will work as an instant effect 
  for 1D4 uses before it will crumble into dust. 
  564 
  LAVENDER PRISM (P) 
  The IOUN stone of the steadfast companion is of extreme benefit to any character with a familiar. 
  When the user places this stone in orbit the power of this stone causes it to become smaller until 
  it slowly drifts into orbit around the familiar. It will suffice to infuse the creature with a full extra 
  hit die of energy. It achieves this by leeching small amounts of energy which is channeled to the 
  familiar from the humanoid companion.  
  
  74 | P a g e  
   
  565 
  BRIGHT SILVER RECTANGLE 
  (P) 
  The IOUN stone of physical reflective entrapment is a quite potent weapon. When activated it 
  creates a 3 seconds duration mirror-like field in mid air between the user and a target creature 
  that is man sized or smaller. The creature must save versus Wands or be trapped within the stone 
  until released by the user (Mirror of Life Trapping). Only one creature may be trapped at a time by 
  the user, and to the victim it is as if no time has elapsed. The released creature appears at a 
  designated spot within 30’ of the user.  
  566 
  SMALL PEARL WHITE 
  SPINDLE (P) 
  The IOUN stone of Minimal Regeneration restores 1 hit point per hour (6 turns). It takes double 
  the normal time to re-grow lost body parts using this IOUN stone. (See stone #10 for details on 
  Regeneration rates).  
  567 
  OCHRE LOZENGE (I)  
  The IOUN stone of continuous molecular adhesion is a powerful device that is able to protect its 
  owner from one of the most dreaded magical attacks-disintegrate. It may only work a few times 
  but even once makes this item extremely valuable. The stone will have a 50% chance to crumble 
  after being used the first time, with a +10% cumulative chance for each additional use.  
  568 
  LAVENDER ELLIPSOID (I) 
  The IOUN stone of magical concealment is an extremely handy item that has saved many a life. 
  Once this stone is attuned to the user it may then be attuned to one specific magic item of ten 
  pounds or less. With a mere thought the item is “absorbed” into the IOUN stone, apparently 
  shrinking as it merges. At any time while the stone is in use the owner may call forth the item and 
  it will appear in his hand in the blink of an eye. 
  569 
  SMALL YELLOW SPHERE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone can produce a ray of blinding light that lasts 1 round which can affect one target 
  creature (save versus Wands to avoid the effect). Those that fail are partially blinded for 1D4 
  rounds (fight at a -2 to hit). Undead struck by this effect take 1D6 damage, and are forced to look 
  away. 
  570 
  PALE LAVENDER LOZENGE 
  (P) 
  The IOUN stone known as the helper is a permanent effect stone that is like a third hand to its 
  owner. By thought alone the stone will stir a pot, hold a small item of one pound or less, or 
  perform any other mundane task. This is a continuous effect stone as it is always at the ready to 
  aid in any small task.  
  571 
  BLOOD RED SMOOTH EGG 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of messages is quite useful in the environment of the dungeon explorer. The user 
  of this stone can speak a message of twenty words or less which the stone will store. The owner 
  may then send the stone, moving at 50’ per round, to any creature or character whereupon the 
  message will be delivered in the users’ voice, at the same volume in which it was spoken. Once the 
  message is delivered, the stone returns. 
  572 
  PURPLE SPHERE (P)  
  The IOUN stone of positioning is quite useful to an adventurer. Once attuned the user can specify 
  a certain point of the landscape. From that point on, or until the user changes the point, this stone 
  can always tell the owner the direction and approximate distance to the chosen point. The first 
  known possessor of such a stone was Thomas-Thomas from the kingdom of Ghar-Mhinn. 
  573 
  DARK ORANGE TEARDROP 
  (P) 
  The “commoners” IOUN stone is not usually a desired item, but occasionally it can be of great 
  benefit. The stone will amplify any common ability: carpentry, metalworking, pottery, fabric 
  making, painting, sculpting and brewing are but a few tasks that will be improved when are using 
  the power of this stone. Such improvements will allow the user to charge 50% more for their items 
  due to the exquisite quality and detail.  
  574 
  PINK & GREEN FACETED 
  LENS (P) 
  Similar to the message stone (#571) is the IOUN stone of small delivery. Once this stone is attuned 
  the user may touch this stone to a small item (normal or magical) that weighs one pound or less. 
  The item will be absorbed, appearing to shrink to fit within the stone. The stone can then be sent 
  up to 100’ away, at a movement rate of 50’ per round where it will deliver the item to your stated 
  target before returning. The stored item can only remain within for 2D4 rounds. 
  575 
  DARK BLUE LOZENGE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is most valuable to a character intending on creating magical Oils, Lotions, 
  Powders, and Pastes. The energy stored within this stone is quite useful in the blending process of 
  the ingredients involved in the creation of the mixture. Any such substance that is manufactured 
  by the user of this IOUN stone will have the maximum effects. The downside is that the stone will 
  not work with “inferior” ingredients, so the material cost per substance is increased by 200%. (See 
  #441 for a related stone). 
  576 
  DEEP BLUE SNOWFLAKE 
  (V/L)  
  The power of this IOUN stone can be used to cause a weapon held by the wearer to become 
  sheathed in a glaze of intensely cold ice. The cold it emits will cause the weapon to inflict an 
  additional 1D6 points of damage on a successful attack. The cold effect can be created once per 
  week for 2D4 rounds duration. 
  
  75 | P a g e  
   
  577 
  RUBY RED SPINDLE (V) 
  This IOUN stone is quite capable of saving the owners life. When the power of the stone is 
  activated the user can determine, roughly, the potential threat from an enemy within 60’.  The 
  user is able to judge the relative “level” or Hit Dice of the target (whether it is higher equal, or 
  lower than the user. The stone is usable once per week, and is able to “scan” one target only 
  during its activation. 
  578 
  INDIGO BLUE SMOOTH 
  TORUS (V) 
  The IOUN thief, as this stone is known, is of great benefit to those who wish to obtain more IOUN 
  stones. When the power of this stone is activated the user has a +4 to grab an IOUN stone that is 
  free floating around another creature. The power is usable once per week, and only one attempt 
  to grab can be made with each use. 
  579 
  MAROON CATSEYE (V) (I) 
  This IOUN stone is the bane of opponent spell casters who are affected greatly when its power is 
  activated. The stone radiates a field of suppressive energy that will make any spells cast into its 20’ 
  area of effect, to be cast at 1/2 strength. Fireballs lose power as do Magi Missiles, and Lightning 
  Bolts. Spells with a duration that are cast inside the zone of suppression will work for ½ the stated 
  duration. The power can be activated once per week with the effect lasting 2D3 rounds. 
  580 
  BLACK SPHERE (C) 
  The IOUN stone of Chaotic Evil Damnation is a most foul thing that was grown in secret by the 
  Elemental allies of Chaos. Once every 100 days this stone can be activated with a devastating 
  effect. Any Chaotic evil creature within 30’ that is fighting as an ally of the user gains a +2 to hit, 
  damage, Armor Class, and saving throws. The effect lasts for 2D4+4 rounds before fading. Only 
  one such stone has ever been recorded, and it was lost many centuries ago. Legend says that 
  when the time is right the stone will reappear to aid in the Chaotic Lord’s eternal fight against the 
  forces of Law. This stone will only have 1D4 charges when found and when the last is used the 
  stone will crumble into dust. Neither the charge stone (#277) nor a Wish will ever be able to add 
  additional charges to this IOUN stone. 
  581 
  GLOWING ROSE CYLINDER 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of the sundering barrier is a very powerful stone that has but a few charges when 
  found. Once per week for 1D4+2 rounds this stone is able to erect a barrier that will have a chance 
  to shatter missile weapons targeted at the user. Each such projectile must save versus a crushing 
  blow or be destroyed. Any form of standard projectile can be affected (dart, arrow, bolt, quarrel, 
  sling stone, spear, dagger, throwing axe or similar devices). There is a 50% chance that this stone 
  will crumble after its first use with a +10% chance for each additional use. 
  582 
  MAROON PRISM (V) 
  The IOUN stone of the Divine Favor is most useful when used by a Cleric or Druid, but a high 
  enough level Paladin could also benefit, once he achieves spell casting abilities. When attuned, it 
  will act as an amplifier for the prayers or meditations used to gain spells. The user is able to gain 
  one spell that is of one level higher than the user is normally able to obtain. Thus a caster who 
  could normally use spells up to 3rd level would actually gain one 4th level spell (no bonus spell due 
  to high wisdom). It is always up to the DM if the deity involved grants such a boon. 
  583 
  COBALT BLUE FACETED EGG  
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is known by its owners as “The Wall Breaker” due to its devastating effects on 
  magically created walls. Any “solid” wall spell within 20’ can be targeted; Wall of Stone, Wall of 
  Ice, Wall of Wood, Wall of Iron and even a Wall of Force, all can be destroyed by this stone. Upon 
  activation this IOUN stone speeds off and in a mere moment it will pierce the target wall with 
  dozens of holes, causing such barriers to have a 50% chance to collapse. There is a 50% chance 
  that this stone will crumble after its first use with a +10% chance for each additional use. There is 
  rumored to be a super-charged version of this IOUN stone that actually allows its owner to walk 
  through any form of magical wall at will, without using a charge. 
  584 
  ORANGE ROD (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone is able to achieve a bizarre ability. When activated, the stone allows 
  the user to assume a non-breathing liquid form for up to 2D4+2 rounds. He could then be poured 
  into a Bag of Holding, or similar device for transportation. This could be very useful in some 
  situations. The power can only be activated once per week. Movement while in this form is “at the 
  speed of flowing water”, or 5’ per round depending on the slope of the surface. 
  585 
  PEARL BROWN RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone allows the user once per week to use a doppleganger like ability, changing his 
  form to match a man sized or smaller creature that has been viewed within the last 24 hours. No 
  abilities are gained only the physical appearance. The effect lasts for 2D4+2 rounds. The user does 
  not gain hit points when regaining his form from the stones power. 
  
  76 | P a g e  
   
  586 
  CRYSTAL CLEAR CUBE (V/L) 
  The user of this IOUN stone is able to cause the bones in his limbs or those of another creature he 
  touches to become very soft and pliable. This enables him to reach into narrow / tight places with 
  relative ease. He is also able to slip out of any normal, non-magical bonds that are placed upon his 
  limbs. The stone is usable once per week for 1d4 rounds. The very nature of this IOUN stone 
  makes it almost impossible to detect visually, with but a 5% chance to do so with normal means. 
  With the super-charged version the user is able to affect his entire skeletal system allowing him to 
  slip through narrow openings of as thin as 1 inch. 
  587 
  DEEP BLACK TWISTED 
  HEXAGONAL ROD (V/L) 
  This is a deadly IOUN stone that is a retributive stone with few peers. Whenever the user is dealt 
  damage that will take him to -10 or more hit points this stone will react immediately. It unleashes 
  a blast of negative power that is designed to kill the attacker. Any creature with hit points equal to 
  or less that the users’ maximum must make an immediate save against Death Magic at a -2 
  modifier or fall stone dead. This stone will crumble into dust immediately after it is used. 
  588 
  PALE GREEN CYLINDER (P) 
  This IOUN stone is of most benefit to a multiple classed character. It is able to boost each class by 
  a full level of experience (the user gains sufficient experience points to take him one point above 
  the next level). The user will gain full hit points and benefits for the levels gained. This stone is very 
  powerful and can easily be used to take characters above racial maximums. It is unusual that this 
  stone will not benefit any single classed character. To date I have never encountered a super-
  charged version of this stone. (See #7 for the standard version of this stone) 
  589 
  PEARL BROWN SPINDLE 
  (V/L) 
  The fire killer IOUN stone is quite effective in containing the damage caused by fire within 20’ of 
  the user for the duration of 2D3 rounds. Normal fires (torches, campfire, burning oil, etc.) can be 
  extinguished with a mere thought when this stone is activated. Magical fires created by spells of 
  5th level or less have a 50% chance that their intensity is lessened by 50%  (1/2 damage from 
  fireball, Burning Hands, etc.). Spells generating a fire effect that are 6th level and above have but a 
  25% chance that their power will be affected (Delayed Blast Fireball, etc.). The stone is usable 
  once per week.  
  590 
  LIME GREEN CATSEYE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone is quite different from almost all of the others. It allows the user to function as a 
  conduit, transferring its benefit to another target. Roll a D6 for the random power that is affected 
  when attuned. Once per week the user has a chance to affect the stated power by a roll of 1 point 
  on any single target creature that is touched with the effect lasting for a duration of 2D3+2 
  rounds. The power of this IOUN stone will not take any ability score above 18.

  AMBER ELLIPSOID (V/L) 
  The medics IOUN stone (also known as the McCoy stone) is usually most useful to Clerics who can 
  use its power to detect the relative health of a companion or enemy. When activated the user is 
  able to target a creature within 30’ in order to determine how many hit points are still remaining. 
  The stone is usable once per week for 2D4 rounds and the user is able to “scan” one target per 
  round. Any form of disease can also be detected by the user of this IOUN stone. 
  592 
  MAROON FACETED TORUS 
  (V) 
  The IOUN stone of the Memory Enhancement is most useful when used by a Magic User or 
  Illusionist but a high enough level Rangers could also benefit, once he achieves spell casting 
  abilities. When attuned, it will act as an amplifier for the intensive study used to gain spells. The 
  user is able to gain one spell that is of one level higher than the user is normally able to obtain. 
  Thus a caster who could normally use spells up to 3rd level would actually gain one 4th level spell. 
  The user will need to have the spell in a spell book or on a scroll (from which it will disappear upon 
  memorization).  
  593 
  CLEAR PINK RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  The IOUN stone of boosting will allow the user to voluntarily add a +10% chance (optionally +2 in 
  some cases) for any other IOUN stone to perform its function. It will also modify a stones chance 
  of crumbling from overuse by a -10% modifier. This stone has 1D4 charges when found and when 
  the last is used it will crumble into dust. 
  
  77 | P a g e  
   
  594 
  BRIGHT BLUE CYLINDER (I) 
  The user of this IOUN stone gains a boost to his experience points. Roll a D20 on the following 
  chart to determine the amount gained. No character can increase by more than 1 level of 
  experience through the use of such a stone. Upon bestowing this boon the stone will instantly 
  crumble into dust.

  595 
  DARK BLUE SPHERE (V/L) 
  This IOUN stone creates a covering made of thin blue crystal for the users’ head that is equivalent 
  to a metal helm giving an AC 2 to the now protected area. The covering does not interfere with 
  hearing or vision in any way.  
  596 
  LIME GREEN LOZENGE (P) 
  The IOUN stone of rapid regeneration can be both a blessing and a curse. It is able to restore 1 hit 
  point per round, but at a cost. The stone begins to function automatically when the possessor 
  reaches ½ of his total hit points. Upon activation the owner must make a base save versus Wands 
  with no modifiers or he will fall unconscious until all of his lost hit points are restored. Any limbs 
  that need re-grown will do so in ½ the time as described in the description of IOUN stone #10. 
  597 
  SMALL OCHRE RECTANGLE 
  (V/L) 
  Once per day for the duration of 2 rounds this IOUN stone allows its owner to use the stone 
  sensing abilities of a Gnome. Gnomes do not gain any benefit from this stone. 
  598 
  SMALL GRAY CUBE (V/L) 
  Once per day for the duration of 2 rounds this IOUN stone allows its owner to use the stone 
  sensing abilities of a Dwarf. Dwarves do not gain any benefit from this stone. 
  599 
  BLOOD RED PRISM (T) 
  The IOUN stone of tremendous power can be used only once before it will possibly crumble into 
  dust. In an energetic burst it unleashes a bolt of energy that will inflict 4D8+4 damage on a single 
  target within 30’. There are rumors of the existence of a similar stone that will release the same 
  amount of power in a cone that is 30’ long with a 20’ base. There is a base 50% chance that this 
  stone will crumble after use with a +10% modifier for each use thereafter. 
  600 
  PALE LAVENDER 
  DODECAHEDRON (P) 
  The IOUN stone of Automatic Attunement will require the usual one week attuning itself to its 
  user, but then its real worth is discovered. Once it has become attuned, the power of this stone is 
  a constant effect. Any additional IOUN stones that the user obtains will become instantly attuned, 
  becoming completely usable the moment they are touched and placed in the air. This is a much 
  sought after stone by all adventuring groups. It is important to note that another character can 
  loan an IOUN stone to the user, but when it is returned it will take a full week to re-attune itself to 
  the former owner. 
   
   
   
  Who would have believed that such an ugly 
  rock could contain such wondrous treasure?  
  We stood there in silence as the glittering 
  sand flowed like liquid onto the table, along 
  with eight of the most fabulous IOUN stones 
  we had ever seen. Kallus had perished in the 
  quest for the geode, his flesh and all he 
  carried had been totally consumed by the 
  Positive Energy Plane. Madrek and Qualtiss 
  would require major healing from the 
  damage they had received while opening the 
  geode.

  Fraggle Edgewise lay back comfortably after an excellent dinner. His favorite 
  IOUN stone quietly scanned through his tome of spells, happily transferring the 
  required mystic symbols into his memory. The other stones amused themselves 
  by playing a game of tag around his hat while he lazily contemplated his next 
  meal. He released a sigh…It was so strenuous being a mage…no wonder so few 
  Halflings chose this most difficult and time consuming path.

  COLLECTED NOTES ON “CURSED” IOUN STONES AND 30 POSSIBLE CURSES THAT CAN MAKE THEM A MAJOR PROBLEM 
   
  As mentioned earlier, these items are not actually cursed; they are just malfunctioning; perhaps only one in a thousand IOUN 
  stones are “cursed”, most likely even that number is too high. These IOUN stones actually have a flaw (small cracks or 
  imperfection within the crystalline structure) that results in the sending of random amounts of positive material energy through 
  the user’s body.  
   
  Since they are acting as a conduit for this raw energy they can only be instantly cancelled by a limited wish (7th level) or a wish 
  (9th level). Such spells are the only known ways that will allow the victim to automatically get rid of them; therefore I 
  recommend that they be quite rare, and they should always be a placed item, never a random treasure find (which is why I did 
  not include them in my list). Twinned IOUN stones that are “cursed” affect both characters. “Cursed” IOUN stones cannot be 
  netted or grabbed by any means short of a Limited Wish once they are attuned. Very nasty! 
   
  There is only a 2% chance that a player character can detect any flaw in an IOUN stone since they are usually damaged early in 
  their formation with the flaw located extremely deep within their crystal matrix. An expert jeweler will have a 15% chance to 
  detect a flaw, but he will charge a minimum of 5000GP for such an examination. Scrutiny in this amount of detail could 
  inadvertently cause the stone to become attuned to the examiner. Because of their overwhelming resistance to magical effects, 
  the cost of using a “Remove Curse” to get rid of such a stone is very high. It takes a Magic User of at least 9th level to make the 
  attempt and he will almost always charge a minimum of double the normal fee, sometimes much more if the curse is especially 
  dangerous. (Normally the cost for a Remove Curse is 500GP per level; this means the cost is 1000GP or more per level)  
   
  There is only a 50% base chance to remove the “cursed” IOUN stone, modified by +5% per level that the caster is above 9th 
  level. A successful attempt will cause the IOUN stone to drop inert to the ground, its connection to the Positive Material Plane 
  temporarily severed. It is recommended that it then be either placed in a very, very safe place or be destroyed. They have been 
  known to become re-attuned if carried too close. A failed attempt to remove a flawed IOUN stone will have two possible 
  outcomes:  
   
     1) The spell fails and the IOUN stone remains along with its “curse”. 
    2) The spell partially works, but the IOUN stone has re-attuned itself and affects the spell caster as it now orbits his head.         
          He will not be happy…at all. 
   
  Since they can appear as any possible IOUN stone, most of these stones will actually grant their designated ability in addition to 
  infusing the user with their particular “curse”. It is a double edged sword that the user will need to deal with. Here is a list of 
  just a few of the possible “curses”, I am sure there are many, many more that a clever (devious) DM can include in his 
  campaign. 
   
  1) With the IOUN stone of bad luck all die rolls made by the user are at -1. This is for any attack, saving throws, ability checks, 
  and each damage die rolled to a minimum of 1 point of damage per die. Percentage based rolls made by the owner of this 
  stone are at a minus 10% or plus 10% whichever is most harmful. A super-charged stone of this type affects the user with a -2 
  penalty in the listed areas, with percentage based rolls having a 20% modifier as above.  
   
  2) The IOUN stone of interference causes all spells cast by the user to have a 20% chance to fail. Unwanted muscle spasms ruin 
  the casting of spells and it is nearly impossible to memorize or pray for any new spells as a bizarre singing sound is heard by the 
  user only that is unending. Any thief skill check has a -20% modifier due to interference. Clerics will find it difficult to pray for 
  spells, and for fighters any attack is at -2 because of unintended muscle twitches, and the armor class of any user is at -2 
  because of a totally random loss of coordination. 
   
  3) The IOUN stone of paralysis has a chance to randomly put the user into a paralytic stupor. Once per week, when the stones 
  actual power is activated there is a 20% chance that the user becomes “Paralyzed”, suspended between breaths for 2D3 
  rounds.  
   
  
  80 | P a g e  
   
  4) The IOUN stone of blindness has a 30% chance to fill the user’s vision with either a bright blinding light of positive energy or 
  the deepest black of negative energy, causing temporary blindness for 2D3 rounds. This usually occurs during moments of 
  stress. Whenever the DM determines that there is stress the user rolls a save versus spells at a -2 with failure activating the 
  “curse”. 
   
  5) IOUN stone of transference will randomly move from one character to another when they are within 20’. Once per week the 
  stone will have a 20% chance to simply drift into orbit around the new owner carrying its “curse” along with it. When this curse 
  is used there will be another curse effect that is also present. 
   
  6) This IOUN stone has a 20% chance to cause the user to occasionally slip out of phase, to stare helplessly from the border 
  Ethereal Plane for 1D4 rounds. Usually this will happen during times of stress. It is also possible that the sufferer will see 
  “ghosts”, images of Ethereal creatures that are moving nearby. There is always the chance of an attack by any Ethereal Plane 
  creatures. 
   
  7) The IOUN stone of level nullification, or the energy leech, will lower the victim’s level by 1 to a minimum of level one while 
  attuned. Also…the worst part…the user will not be able to gain any further experience points until this pest is removed. 
   
  8) This IOUN stone is actually quite annoying, tending to swirl and dance directly in front of the user’s eyes, becoming a 
  constant distraction. The DM can decide what level of annoyance is committed. 
   
  9) The IOUN stone of ability reduction will lower one of the owner’s ability scores by D4 points for 24 hours. A stone will not 
  simultaneously raise and lower the same ability (i.e. a stone of +1 Strength will not also lower the Strength ability). Once 
  selected the IOUN stones effect is set for that character. It would be re-rolled for any other users. Roll a d6 on the following 
  table to see which ability is affected each day:  
   
  1 
   Strength 
  2 
   Intelligence 
  3 
   Wisdom 
  4 
   Constitution 
  5 
   Dexterity 
  6 
   Charisma 
   
  10) The curse of the stone causes the users hair and fingernails to grow at an incredible rate (hair 1D12” per day, nails 1D3 
  inches per day) 
   
  11) The user must save versus poison upon activating the stone or suffer a fit of sneezing that delays the activation of the 
  stones power for 1D3 rounds. 
   
  12) The user becomes extremely clumsy. Any attack roll of 1 or 2 on the D20 indicates that the user has dropped his weapon or 
  any other hand held item.  
   
  13) Under moments of stress the user becomes mute for 2D3 rounds. Whenever the DM determines that there is stress the 
  user rolls a save versus magic at a -2 with failure activating the “curse”. There goes the verbal component needed for most 
  spells. 
   
  14) The stone steals power from any Cure type spell that the user receives. Each die of curing from a cleric is at a -1. If the IOUN 
  stone is super-charged then the drain from such spells is -2 per die rolled. 
   
  15) If the user of this IOUN stone is attacked by a spell of 3rd level or higher this stone will “hide” in a pouch, bag or pack, 
  burrowing as deep as it can to avoid the spell. The user will lose all benefits from this IOUN stone while it is not orbiting. The 
  stone “cowers” vibrating rapidly in fear. 
   
  16) The “curse” associated with this IOUN stone reverses the positive energy flow. Each day it will deplete the users hit points 
  by 2D4+2. Each day roll for the new amount that is depleted. (The effect is not cumulative)  
   
  17) The user of this IOUN stone becomes absolutely terrified by the dark. He will insist on a minimum of a Continual Light spell 
  whenever adventuring below ground, or at night. 
   
  
  81 | P a g e  
   
  18) The user of this “cursed” IOUN stone becomes afflicted with a multitude of maladies. His skin turns bright colors that 
  randomly change; he emits the strange odor of cooking sauerkraut, and any material made of natural items (leather, paper, 
  wood, etc.) that are worn by the character begin to slowly fall apart. 
   
  19) This afflicted IOUN stone will orbit very rapidly at all times; whizzing dangerously close to anyone else who approaches the 
  user. Each time anyone gets within 10’ roll a D20. On a roll of 18+ the stone will actually strike the “intruder” inflicting 1D6 hit 
  points of damage.  
   
  20) The “curse” associated with this IOUN stone is most powerful. All other IOUN stones that are in use by the user go dormant. 
  They remain dormant until the offending stone is removed. 
   
  21) The energies that infuse the user cause a severe outbreak of large warty growths of ugly crystal that form in patches all over 
  his body. They will slowly fade, but every time the stones power is activated they reoccur, always worse than before. 
   
  22) The owner becomes infused with a natural energy attraction. Other IOUN stones will have a 05% chance to move into orbit 
  around the cursed individual…causing a bit of conflict I would suspect with their owners. 
   
  23) Each day the user will randomly enlarge or shrink by 25% of his size (50-50 chance of either occurrence). It makes for poor 
  fitting apparel, and non-magical armor is a real problem. 
   
  24) The user becomes afflicted with “Garble-Tongue” and is unable to utter intelligent words when under stress. This could be 
  very dangerous for spell casters. 
   
  25) This “cursed” stone will cause instant discord between the user and any intelligent magical weapon he possesses. All attacks 
  are made at -2 to hit and damage if the weapon is used in combat. 
   
  26) Your character becomes a “magnet” for any form of missile fire during melee combat. There is a 20% chance for every 
  arrow fired that it will target the user of this stone.  
   
  27) Whenever the power of this IOUN stone is activated there is a 
  05% chance that it will “scream” possibly attracting the attention 
  of a huge SHARD that will appear from the Elemental Plane of 
  Earth. This crystal creature will instantly attack and attempt to take 
  back the stone. If the character is killed…the “curse” is gone! 
   
  28) Each time that the IOUN stones power is activated 1D4% of the 
  user turns to living crystal (it can move as normal flesh…it just 
  looks creepy), starting at the extremities and working towards the 
  core. A successful Remove Curse will not change the transformed 
  flesh back. It will also require the application of a Stone to Flesh 
  spell, after the cursed stone is removed. If the entire creature turns 
  solid crystal he is instantly transported to the Plane of 
  Mineral…lost forever! 
   
  29) The user of the IOUN stone generates a field of loathing in a 10’ 
  radius. Any other character must make a save versus Wands or 
  they will not come any nearer. This will make it very difficult to 
  receive or cast any form of cure spell. 
   
  30) This IOUN stone has a very unusual effect. In moments of stress the stone itself will become rooted in place for 2D4+2 
  rounds, causing the user to drift in orbit. It is a rather strange sight indeed.  
   
  Contrariness / compulsive behavior / hoarding in regards to obtaining IOUN stones / having all damage inflicted by user is at -1 
  / all cures received are at -1 / all damage received is at +1, all of these effects are possible from a flawed IOUN stone.

  From within the wall of rare metals and glittering crystal a face emerged. An 
  angular sharp chiseled visage that reflected the wisdom of the ages. We could 
  see our reflections within the brilliant gemstones, and could feel our thoughts 
  lay bare within the images. With the shrill screech of sliding crystal, like rough 
  gravel sliding across plate mail a heavy sonorous voice could be heard:  
  “Who asks for the assistance of Quaartzz? What is your substance that you 
  would have the temerity to summon me? What do you seek here?  Why do you 
  dare to travel so deep within the mineral realm? Only those of refined purpose 
  and pure components may gaze upon the visage of my lord Crystalle.”

  CREATURES MOST OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH IOUN STONES 
  Most kinds of creatures from the Prime Material Plane have a similar counterpart on all of the inner planes including the 
  Elemental Plane of Earth and its adjoining planes. Such creatures can be harmed by normal non magical weapons. Elemental 
  trolls, goblins and bugbears exist, along with giants, dragons and other larger creatures. All such creatures have the ability to 
  travel freely through the solid material that makes up these planes. Imagine walking down a long rift full of elemental air, only 
  to be attacked by trolls emerging from the very rock walls and floors with ease. 
   
  Most travelers from the Prime Material Plane seek out these great “rifts” since these huge cracks and crevasses extend for 
  miles through both the Elemental Plane of Earth and the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral. Like great highways they offer a 
  road to travel, a safe place to rest, and at times an easy place for some travelers to gather the wealth of the plane. But be 
  warned, the denizens of these two planes are known to patrol such areas in search of the unwary and the foolhardy. 
  And since they are almost always full of elemental air that can be breathed normally, it is possible that air elementals of some 
  kind might also be found here. 
   
  There are tales about a place known to adventurers as the Endless Crystal Grotto; it is a constantly changing rift extending the 
  width of both planes that allows a current of positive energy to leap from crystal to crystal from the Positive Material Plane all 
  the way to the Prime Material Planes. Perhaps it is this conduit that IOUN stones tap into to obtain their unique powers. Many 
  intelligent creatures (friends or foes) from the Prime Material Planes can be found along this immense system of caves. 
   
  Remember: that vision in the plane of earth by visitors from the Prime Material Plane is limited to 0” unless travelling within a 
  pocket from another elemental plane, or employing some form of special magic. It requires “thought” to move through the 
  actual material of the plane, therefore any missile weapons will stop in mid air until touched (See Manual of the Planes page 27 
  for complete details on this strange effect).  
   
  Before any major excursion is planned by a DM to one of the inner planes, especially the Elemental Plane of Earth, and the 
  Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral, I strongly suggest that they become familiar with any pertinent information from the Manual 
  of the Planes pages 22-30, 41-45, and 55-59. Not all of it is needed, but much of it may add greatly to the quality of the 
  adventure, and the fun of any planned encounters. 
   
  Presented as part of this download are several of the more powerful residents that are either referred to often within the IOUN 
  stone descriptions, or are flavor creatures for those who dare venture deep into the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral in search 
  of IOUN stones. Some of these have been updated from my original article in Dragon Magazine #174, and have been altered to 
  reflect their 1st edition origins. Others are new, or had been cut from the original document years ago. 
   
  A DOZEN POSSIBLE RANDOM ENCOUNTERS WHEN IN SEARCH OF IOUN STONES 
   
  This is just a few possible encounters with “normal” creatures that may be had while exploring the huge rifts that permeate the 
  Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral. All encounters with new creatures detailed within this document are by DM placement only.

  SHORT DESCRIPTION OF ENCOUNTER 
  1 
  2-12 Trolls 
  (MMI page 07) 
  The sides and floor of the tunnel you are traveling through suddenly “open up” 
  allowing a large number of trolls to attack. However since they are made of stone 
  they have an armor class of 2, and cannot be set on fire.  
  2 
  1-10 “Sandlings” 
  (MMII page 106) 
  Optionally there is 1 triple 
  sized Sandling that attacks 
  In a wide area of the crevasse, you come across a pool of fine micro-crystals. 
  Suddenly there is a great upheaval as the entire mass attacks! These are identical 
  to normal Sandlings with the following changes: The elemental crystals are much 
  more abrasive inflicting 3-24 points of damage, and the armor class is 0.

  2-8 Crystal Stone Giants 
  (See creatures section of this 
  document) 
  You have strayed close to a guard post located several dozen feet up the wall of 
  the gorge. If you lack permission to be here you will be attacked. The DM may 
  wish to add allies; crystal cave bears would be an interesting twist. 
  4 
  3-12 Rock Reptiles (huge) 
  (MMII page 106) 
  The walls of the tunnel suddenly “come alive” as a large pod of Rock Reptiles 
  attack. These specimens have 10 hit dice and bite for 3-12 points of damage. 
  5 
  2-8 Salamanders 
  (MMI page 85) 
  Far from the Elemental Plane of Fire this band of Salamanders will aid the party if 
  it suits them. 
  6 
  4-16 Xorn 
  (MMI page 102) 
  Constantly roaming the plane, Xorn will always be on the lookout for refined 
  metals (armor, shields, weapons, etc.)

  7 
  4-24 Margoyles 
  (MMII page 83) 
  The air is suddenly full of fluttering wings as a huge grouping of Margoyles fly to 
  the attack. They can freely fly through the surrounding rock in order to attack 
  from all directions. Things they grab can be taken into the rock and left there… 
  8 
  3-12 Crysmals 
  (MMII page 26) 
  The large patches of crystal around you suddenly come alive as a large group of 
  Crysmals attack. They will swarm over any intruder fleeing only when half of them 
  are destroyed. 
  9 
  Great Stone Hydra 
  (base hydra stats MMI 
  page53-54) 
  Ahead of you the ground writhed into life. A huge 12 headed Stone Hydra lurches 
  to attack. It has 16 hit dice and each bite attack does 1-10 +4 damage. Its breath 
  weapon (usable once every three rounds) is a 20’ radius cloud of gas that petrifies 
  any who fail to make a saving throw. Its armor class could be as low as -4. 
  10 
  3-12 Giant Scorpions 
  (MMI page 85) Optionally 
  there could be half as many, 
  but double the hit dice

  4-32 Pech 
  (MMII page 99) 
  You hear strange tapping noises that are coming from a side chamber. If 
  investigated you happen upon a small quarry of gem stones operated by a 
  roaming band of Pech. If treated well they may be of help while travelling on this 
  plane. 
  12 
  A group of travelers 
  Good and evil both lust for IOUN stones. The DM should prepare a special 
  encounter. It could be with Drow, Githyanki, and Humans, whatever the DM 
  wishes, remember whatever they have can be taken by the adventurers so use 
  care. Such an encounter should be well thought out.

  1-6 Dao 
  (MMII page 32) 
  Your way forward is blocked by a huge quarry that is miles across. Several 
  thousand slaves of many races labor here, digging deep into the fabric of the 
  Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral. The overseers are several Dao who have been 
  charged by a greater elemental to create a passage to another reality. The group 
  must negotiate or barter with the Dao in order to reach the other side safely.

  2-8 Galeb Duhr  
  (MMII page 68) 
  A large gathering of Galeb Duhr has located a node of “earth power” that they are 
  attempting to contact.  They are reluctant to move out of the group’s way, and 
  any intrusion will be likely to affect the areas aura, causing them to react 
  violently.  
  15 
  3-24 Hook Horrors 
  (FF page 51) 
  Several large tunnel openings are in the stones all around a huge chamber. 
  Strange clicking noises can be heard, and without warning a huge group of Hook 
  Horrors converge from every direction. If the tunnels are searched one of them is 
  a shortcut that will bypass a dangerous area ahead. 
  16 
  2-8 Thoqqua 
  (FF page 87) 
  A cluster of Thoqqua has taken up residence along this section of the vast cavern 
  system. They will attack all who approach, without reason, just for the joy of 
  destruction.  
  17 
  1-6 Huge Crystal Umber Hulks 
  (basic Umber Hulk MMI page 
  98) 
  Without warning the sides of the tunnel you are traveling through cracks and 
  bursts outward. A number of immense Umber Hulks made of a variety of crystals 
  comes into view. They have double the hit dice of a standard Umber Hulk, an 
  armor class of 0, doing 4-24 points of damage with their claws and 3-18 points 
  with a bite attack.  
  18 
  1-2  Earth Elementals-16 hit 
  die 
  (MMI page 38) 
  These two elementals are on a mission from the “Elemental Boss” taking a 
  message either too or from Crystalle. If treated with the proper respect they may 
  aid the adventurers.

  1 Magma Para-Elemental 
  (MMII page 98) 
  A large pool of magma sits quietly bubbling, putting off sulpherous fumes. A huge 
  16 hit die Magma Para-Elemental will form and demand payment for safe 
  passage. Valuable magic items or items of treasure will appease this molten 
  behemoth.  
  20 
  Structural Change 
  With a tremendous grinding and cracking of stone the passage ahead of you 
  suddenly collapses. At the same time a new tunnel running from left to right or a 
  vertical shaft running up and down, is torn open with the sound of ripping stone. 
  Full of crystal formations and grand columns, the passage appears to have been 
  here for millennium, even though it was just created moments ago.

  Crystalle is an extremely powerful Mineral Elemental and the self proclaimed ruler of the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral.  He 
  has placed himself as the prince of all quasi-elementals inhabiting this realm, demanding their obedience and loyalty.  This 
  elemental has many forms, and is able to morph his living metallic / crystal body to whatever form he desires. When dealing 
  with humanoids he manifests in most instances as a great crystalline giant.  He is one of the largest known quasi-elementals. A 
  powerful overlord, Crystalle has set himself upon a gem laden throne made of the rarest minerals from which he attempts to 
  command the masses of lesser quasi-elementals. Several of the Elemental Princes of Evil despise Crystalle, and interminable 
  wars have been fought as they attempt to dethrone him. 
  Wielding a great crystalline scepter set with dozens of rare gemstones, including many that have never been seen before on the 
  Prime material Plane, Crystalle sits in his throne hall and watches over his realm. Countless SHARDS and Trilling Crysmals do his 
  bidding, acting as his eyes and ears, reporting extra-planar intrusions to their liege. Also aiding Crystalle are dozens of Spined 
  SHARDS, who serve grudgingly as his soldiers and instruments of punishment. 
   
  In melee combat Crystalle attacks twice per round (minimum) wielding a great club composed of rare metals and crystal with 
  each successful strike delivering 2-20 + 10 hit points of damage. On any roll of 19 or 20 the target must save versus spells or be 
  knocked unconscious for 3-12 rounds. This crystalline giant has the entire spell casting powers of a 20th level wizard, with the 
  resources to use any spell of up to 9th level given in the AD&D rules. He can also cast Prismatic Sphere once per day at will if in 
  bright light equal to a Continual Light spell or brighter. His scepter, which is claimed to be a massive concretion of fused IOUN 
  stones, functions only for him, acting as a Staff of the Magi and a Rod of Absorption at the same time, having effectively 
  unlimited charges. All spells cast by Crystalle originate from this staff (or free floating IOUN stones), and there are those who 
  believe (wrongly) that without them he would be nothing more than a glorified elemental. But he is much more than that. 
   
  Two notable features about Crystalle make him stand above the other quasi-elementals of the plane. The first is an extremely 
  high intelligence and cunning that makes Crystalle a formidable opponent. Many lesser quasi-elementals seeking to overthrow 
  him were cunningly lured to the dangerous fringe area that lies between the Plane of Mineral and the Positive Material Plane. 
  Here they were defeated by Crystalle and were hurled into the energy plane, forever destroyed. 
   
  The second feature of interest is the veritable cloud of IOUN stones that is present around Crystalle at all times. Crystalle has 
  never been encountered without at least 100 fully functional IOUN stones (none of them burned out gray stones). These 
  powerful “gems” serve to amplify and augment his abilities, granting powers and abilities that no other challenger to his rule 
  possesses. Some of these gems were given to Crystalle as tribute by lesser elemental creatures seeking to gain favor. Others 
  were selectively gathered by Crystalle’s followers as part of his grand design. Many were taken by force by Crystalle and his 
  minions, their owners’ remains left like fossils in the Plane of Mineral. It is very important to note that multiple IOUN stones of 
         
                                        Drawing by Tom Baxa

  the same type will stack their powers when used by Crystalle. The sole survivor of an ill fated adventure into Crystalle’s domains 
  reported that no fewer than 30 IOUN stones were activated simultaneously by this elemental prince, unleashing a torrent of 
  effects that completely overwhelmed his attackers.  
   
  Rumors also abound that Crystalle has a private domain lying deep within the heart of the Mineral Plane where his most valued 
  treasures are well guarded.  It is said to be a vast cave almost a mile across; the inner surface alight with a spectacular coating 
  comprised of billions of the finest gem stones; with the great open space containing countless thousands of free floating IOUN 
  stones. They swirl and dance here moving in immense shoals, chasing and hiding from each other; an endless game of fantastic 
  color. Rare forms of crystal magical items also float among the IOUN stones. Wands, staffs, and rods of pure crystal can be 
  found here…their incredible powers left to ones imagination. 
   
   The realm of Crystalle is intended to include the whole Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral, but his actual reach of power is not 
  quite that vast. He is well regarded by most inhabitants of this plane, and even true earth elementals will generally leave him 
  alone or pay him grudging respect. 
   
  Crystalle is solely concerned with protecting his domain from intruders and in the acquisition of personal power. He hopes that 
  through the power of his collection of IOUN stones that he will eventually attain the rank of a demi-god and be able to gain 
  more worshippers among his subjects. His palace is already said (by the very few mortals who have lived to see it) to be of 
  astounding magnificence, built entirely of thousands of gem stones and enormous plates of precious metals. It is said to be 
  guarded by several hundred quasi-elementals who have sworn fealty to their liege, lesser forms similar to Crystalle, but held in 
  check by his powers. Greater, unrecorded creatures may lurk within the walls of this palace to further add to Crystalle’s 
  security. 
   
  Crystalle acts to keep the riches of the Mineral Plane intact by discouraging any intrusions. Individual’s intent on reaping riches 
  here should be warned that Crystalle’s retribution is swift, and often final. Those who stay near the border with the Prime 
  Material Plane are usually safe from attack, and those who venture deeper into his realm in search of valuable minerals and 
  gems will almost always be questioned. But, he is not adverse to gifting a worthy supplicant with IOUN stones or trading some 
  gems for a valuable magic item. Nor is he completely aloof; at times he will assist outsiders as they research his realm and the 
  mysteries of IOUN stones. In the far past he assisted the Arch-Mage Siljameer Varooste and his apprentice in the creation of the 
  Arackle (see item description for details). He will not do this often, however and even then he will usually end up the winner in 
  any bargain. 
   
  Crystalle also has special areas located along the Positive Material Planes border, where his most minions watch over specially 
  selected IOUN geodes. These are his private “incubators”, some of which have been here for eons, constantly gaining power. 
  The stones resulting from this prolonged exposure have unique and tremendous powers, though they are usually short lived, 
  usable only 1D4 times before they crumble into dust. The powers contained within such IOUN stones can be found on the lists, 
  or are limited only by the DM’s imagination, keeping game balance in mind. 
   
  Crystalle is almost always (90% chance) accompanied by a squat crystal dwarf named  Quaartzz (See separate listing) who acts 
  as assistant and bodyguard. With his great crystal spear he defends his liege against any attacker.  
   
  Edged weapons will attack against armor class -6, and all blunt weapons treat the creature as having armor class -1. Remember 
  that his IOUN stones may modify any of his statistics. 
   
  Crystalle also has the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect the Crystalle, and 
  electrical based attacks will only cause ¼ or no damage depending on the saving throw. Gases and poisons are ineffective when 
  employed against Crystalle. But he is affected by some spells: Shatter will cause 3-18 points of damage, a Glassee spell will blind 
  him for 1-3 rounds, and a Stone to Flesh spell will make Crystalle armor class 0 for one melee round. Crystalle can phase into 
  any stony surface within one round, and during that round a Phase Door spell will cause 2-20 points of damage. The structure of 
  his body is constantly renewing himself; therefore Crystalle regenerates 5 hit points per round while on the Quasi-Elemental 
  Plane of Mineral.

  Known as the Guardian of Crystalle, the “dwarf” elemental 
  known as Quaartzz is a most powerful being in his own right. At 8’ tall, and almost as broad, he is merely a dwarf when 
  compared to other elementals, but he still towers over most travelers (intruders) into the realms of Crystalle. Most adventurers 
  who seek Crystalle in a quest for favors will almost always first encounter his chamberlain Quaartzz, who ultimately decides 
  who is worthy to receive an audience with his liege. Many adventurers have even mistaken this powerful figure for Crystalle. 
   
  In combat Quaartzz wields a great crystalline-metallic spear, a twisted artifact of unknown origin. With it he attacks 3 times per 
  round inflicting 3-18 + 12 points of damage with every strike. 3 times per day the “dwarf” can unleash a torrent of raw energy 
  from the spear that fills a cone shaped area 60’ long with a 20’ base. Each of the blasts delivers 3-30 points of damage (save 
  versus spells for ½ damage).  If he so desires Quaartzz can hurl the spear to a distance of up to 120’ with no penalty, doing 
   4-24+12 hit points of damage when it strikes. Immediately after striking, the spear will teleport back into the metallic grasp of 
  Quaartzz. 
   
  The entire structure of Quaartzz is infused with crystals containing pure positive energy, and any weapon of less than +3 
  enchantment that strikes him has a 25% chance that it will be totally destroyed.  
   
  If Crystalle is ever seriously threatened by an attacker, Quaartzz will do all in his power to protect his Prince. Like his liege, 
  Quaartzz also has a swarm of IOUN stones, though he rarely has more than two dozen, as he relies on his physical prowess 
  more than any “magical” aid he would receive from the stones. 
   
  Edged weapons are required to strike Quaartzz, and they will attack against armor class -8, and all similarly enchanted blunt 
  weapons treat the creature as having armor class -4. 
   
  Quaartzz has the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect Quaartzz, and electrical 
  based attacks will only cause ¼ or no damage depending on the saving throw. Gases and poisons are ineffective when 
  employed against Quaartzz. But he is affected by some spells: Shatter will cause 3-18 points of damage, a Glassee spell will 
  blind him for 1-3 rounds, and a Stone to Flesh spell will make Quaartzz armor class 6 for one melee round. Quaartzz is able to 
  phase into any stony surface within one round, and during that round a Phase Door spell will inflict 2-20 points of damage. The 
  structure of his body is constantly renewing himself; therefore Quaartzz regenerates 5 hit points per round while on the Quasi-
  Elemental Plane of Mineral. 
   
  Quaartzz has a band of Crystal Stone Giants who work as soldiers that report any intruders, and aid their marshal in combat. At 
  any time 1-4 of these giants will accompany Quaartzz.

  The crystalline SHARD is one of many quasi-elementals on the plane of Mineral, and the one most commonly found within the 
  proximity of IOUN geodes. In appearance they are nothing more than irregularly shaped pieces of glowing crystal, with 
  extremely sharp edges capable of slicing through the hardest of metals. This sentient mineral life form is of low intelligence and 
  rarely ever encountered on the Prime Material Plane, unless sent by a greater power. SHARDS are however, occasionally 
  summoned by greater mages in order to serve as guardians for some valued treasure, almost always gem related as they will 
  usually guard these without hesitation. 
   
  In the mineral plane, these highly mobile crystals can most often be found skirting the area that lies between the Plane of 
  Mineral and the Positive Material Plane. Here they absorb the power that gives them life, making forays throughout the 
  Mineral Plane and sometimes even traveling to the depths of the Elemental Plane of Earth. Occasionally they encounter 
  elemental whirlpools and become trapped there, their reserves depleted. What remains behind are spectacular crystalline 
  veins of immense value. SHARDS almost always move in swarms, the most common groups consisting of 2D10 individuals of 
  various sizes. Rarely have they been encountered in swarms numbering over 100 individuals. (The mage Siljameer has reported 
  seeing no less than 1000 of the creatures when he visited the palace of Crystalle) 
   
  With a “body” composed entirely of extremely dense, living crystal, the SHARD possesses a surface that can be harmed only by 
  weapons of +2 or better enchantment, which will inflict only half damage. Full damage can only be achieved by using +3 
  weapons in an attack. Any non magical weapons that strike a SHARD have a 50% chance of shattering or melting. Even magical 
  weapons of +1 enchantment have a 25% chance of being destroyed in a similar fashion.  
   
  The attack method employed by a SHARD consists of a slashing assault with its razor sharp edges. The steel hard planes of 
  crystal are the equivalent of +2 weapons and inflict 2-8+2 points of damage, plus 1 hp of damage for each hit die (+5-+10). 
  There have been reported sighting of massive SHARDS of up to 15 hit dice in size, but they are extremely rare, even in the plane 
  of mineral. Specimens of this size are quite powerful and owe their allegiance to no other creature, but they will serve Crystalle 
  if the cause is justified.  
   
  Once per day a SHARD can employ an unusual ability when seriously threatened. The crystal creature will spin rapidly in place, 
  emitting a paralyzing burst of multi-colored light (as per the illusionist spell Color Spray) from the facets of its crystal form. This 
  display fills an area with a 30’ radius, and anyone caught within this area of effect must save versus spells or stand bedazzled 
  and stunned for 2-8 rounds. Any attacks they suffer while in this state are at an additional +4 to hit on the attackers roll. After 
  releasing this burst of energy the SHARD must immediately retreat, slipping back through the minerals and stone seeking to 
  recharge its reserves. 
   
  A SHARD swarm will very rarely be sent by Crystalle to the Prime Material Plane on a special mission, usually to seek out any 
  adventurers that may have taken large numbers of minerals, gems or quantities of IOUN stones from the Quasi-Elemental Plane 
  of Mineral without permission.

  The Glomus is one of the many unusual creatures that can be encountered on the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral, and only 
  on the rarest of occasions is it ever encountered away from its native plane. Only near outcroppings of immense crystals, or 
  deep within dense crystal filled caverns have they ever been found on the Prime material Plane. Even in places like this the 
  Glomus will only remain for a few hours, as it needs to constantly be exposed to its native planes energies in order to survive. 
   
  Although it appears to be nothing more than a great compact mass of individual crystals, the Glomus is a living creature that 
  “flies” serenely through the mineral realm by using a form of movement that is part levitation and part passwall.  With ease it 
  slips its bulk through solid rock or any other medium like a fish moves through water. During its “flight” it will slowly and 
  selectively pull other crystals into its mass growing steadily in size and mass. Occasionally (50% chance) a Glomus will have 1-3 
  random IOUN stones that are part of its structure. They will either be incorporated into the mass (75% chance) or be free 
  floating in orbit around the Glomus. The Glomus can access any powers that are inherent within the IOUN stones. 
   
  A pseudo magnetism hold the individual crystals that make up the Glomus rigidly in place forming a roughly spherical shape 
  measuring from 2’ to 12’ in diameter.  The Glomus will thus have 1 hit die for each foot of diameter. Many sharp edged crystals 
  protrude at various angles, providing the Glomus with weaponry readied in every direction. During combat the Glomus will 
  attempt to slam into its enemies inflicting 1-4 points of damage for each hit die it possesses; thus a 6 hit die Glomus can inflict 
  6-24 points of damage. But in most cases the Glomus will attempt to flee any encounter, unless it is intent on obtaining certain 
  crystals. As a special defense the Glomus is able to once per day create a Glittering Curtain, a spell like effect that fills a 20’ 
  radius, striking any creature in the area with the same effects as a powerful Color Spray cast by a 12th level Illusionist. (AD&D 
  PHB page 94). 
   
  The conglomerate surface of the Glomus is extremely hard (AC -2) and completely protects the creature from any normal 
  weapon attack. Only weapons of at least +2 enchantment are able to successfully strike and injure the Glomus. Blunt weapons 
  of +2 or better enchantment will inflict double damage when they strike a Glomus. When a Glomus is reduced to zero hit points 
  the pseudo magnetic bond that holds the individual components together is broken, causing the Glomus to break apart. But the 
  shattering is an explosive event that sends the sharp edged crystals fling at great speeds. This fills a 10’ radius inflicting 3-12 
  points of damage against any who fail to make a save versus breath weapons.  
   
  Amazingly, after but one hour of the destruction, the component crystals that are unshattered will begin to reform the Glomus. 
  This process will take one day for each hit die of that Glomus. Only if all of the crystals are shattered is a Glomus totally 
  destroyed. Usually the reformed Glomus will have 1-4 fewer hit dice than before its disruption. If a Glomus is somehow 
  captured, and brought to the Prime Material Plane it will soon die, leaving behind a pile of gemstones  worth 2D10 x 500GP in 
  value.

  The Trilling Crysmal is a close relative of the Crysmal (MMII page 26) and the Stilted Crysmal and it is Rare on the Elemental 
  Plane of Earth, and uncommon within the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral. Sightings of these creatures on the Prime Material 
  Plane are extremely rare and always deep underground in grottos of immense tightly packed crystals. The severe conditions of 
  these areas make for very brief encounters that are almost always decided in favor of these crystalline predators.  
  In appearance the Trilling Crysmal is quite different from its cousin. It possesses six long spiderlike appendages upon which it 
  skitters about. These radiate out from a central mass of tightly packed crystals, which are dominated by a huge crystal almost 
  four feet tall. This central crystal is translucent with random sparkles if light that can be seen deep within its structure. The 
  structures are all extremely hard giving the Trilling Crysmal a daunting armor class of -3. Only weapons of +2 enchantment or 
  better can inflict damage, and lesser weapons (including weapons that are +1) have a 20% chance of shattering or breaking 
  upon striking. It is common for a Trilling Crysmal to have 1-3 IOUN stones. 
  Usually this creature can be found lurking just within the fringes of the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral where it will hunt for 
  SHARDS and other forms of crystal life. It will use the flickering lights of the crystal along with a soft trilling sound, like fine 
  crystal glassware being lightly tapped (made by sliding its legs slowly against each other) to lure prey close before striking. 
  The Trilling Crysmal has two methods of physical attack. The first is a slashing attack using its razor edged legs. Spinning and 
  striking it can use two legs against any one opponent, but is able to shift quickly so as to be able to employ all six legs each 
  round against multiple opponents. Each successful hit will inflict 1-6+2 points of damage. The second method of attack is usable 
  once per day and allows for the creature to shoot six crystalline darts per day. These darts have extremely sharp ridged edges 
  that have a range of 60 feet, inflicting 1-4+2 points of damage on a hit.  
  But the darts are much more than a missile weapon. Intended for use on crystal life forms they will shatter with a violent force 
  moments after impact. This force will shatter any crystal that is struck, and against flesh it has even more devastating effects. 
  The dart fractures into 2-8 sharp splinters that cause agonizing pain that is so intense that the victim temporarily loses 2 points 
  of strength and 4 points of dexterity. Any violent movement (running, climbing, and combat) will cause 1-6 points of damage 
  per round until the splinters are removed. Removal of the fragments inflicts 1 point of damage each, unless a Cure spell of any 
  type is administered during the process. 
  Edged +2 weapons will attack against armor class -4, and all +2 blunt weapons treat the creature as having armor class 0. 
   
  The Trilling Crysmal has the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect the Trilling 
  Crysmal, and electrical based attacks will only cause ¼ or no damage depending on the saving throw. Gases and poisons are 
  ineffective when employed against a Trilling Crysmal. But they are affected by some spells :a  Shatter spell will cause 3-18 
  points of damage, a Glassee spell will blind these creatures, and a Stone to Flesh spell will make it armor class 6 for one melee 
  round. The Trilling Crysmal can phase into any stony surface within one round, and during that round a phase door spell will 
  slay this creature.

  The Spined Shard is perhaps one of the most feared predators of the Quasi-elemental Plane of Mineral, a devious killer that 
  usually haunts the border realm with the Positive Material Plane. At home in the energy plane, it spends much of its time 
  lurking in the torrential, fluctuating energy fields as it awaits unwary victims (usually SHARDS). When any prey is detected in its 
  hunting grounds along the ever changing mineral formations of the border zone it will quickly strike in an attempt to destroy its 
  prey and absorb any “living” crystal energy that is released.  
  The Spined Shard is a highly intelligent and extremely cunning, usually solo opponent, but it will very rarely be found hunting in 
  packs of up to six individuals. The surface of its crystalline body is extremely hard and only magical weapons of +2 or better 
  enchantment can inflict damage. Lesser weapons that make contact will automatically melt into useless slag (weapons of +1 
  enchantment have a 25% chance that they are likewise affected and destroyed. It is possible for a Spined Shard to have 
  accumulated a few IOUN stones, perhaps acquired from destroyed victims. 
  Due to the high levels of positive energy that infuses the Spined Shard structure, it generates a 10’ radius field of intense 
  magical interference that acts as a limited anti-magic barrier. This field has a 45% chance of distorting and ruining any spells 
  cast into the area. Even area effect spells will be disrupted and canceled if the target point is within the protected zone.  
  Occasionally a Spined Shard will acquire IOUN stones when attacking prey. The stones will simply begin to orbit this source of 
  strong positive energy. The creature is intelligent enough to realize the potential and is quite capable of calling forth the stones 
  powers.  
  In combat the Spined Shard will use its four crystal tentacles for attack purposes. Each whip like appendage can inflict 1-6 points 
  of damage. If two or more of these attacks strike in the same round on a single target the victim will be grasped and pulled 
  within range of one of the two double pronged stingers. This stinger will quickly release a pulse of pure positive energy into the 
  trapped opponent that destroys tissue, causing 2-12 points of damage for Spined Shards of 6-7 HD in size, and 4-24 for the 
  larger ones. 
  The most feared attack form used by the Spined Shard is the four energy bursts that it can hurl each day. These rays are 
  emitted from the four radial spines, travelling in a tightly focused beam barely an inch across that has a range of 60’. This 
  powerful force can affect one individual, inflicting 4-48 points of damage (a successful save versus spells will indicate that the 
  beam has missed, but it may affect any other creature in the line of fire). On a successful hit there is a 50% chance that residual 
  energy from the beam will arc to another random target within 10’ of the victim; such an arc will inflict 2-24 points of damage 
  to the second victim save versus spells for ½ damage). After discharging its final energy beam a Spined Shard will almost always 
  plane shift into the Positive Material Plane to recharge, a process that takes several hours.

  The Spined Shard is a vindictive killer that will many times attack only for the pleasure of the destruction that it can wreak. They 
  will wantonly attack swarms of SHARDS, shattering them and feeding on their stored power in an orgy of energetic gorging; any 
  creature that ventures near such an event has a chance of becoming yet another target. 
  If sorely injured, a Spined Shard will make a final attempt to grab a victim before plane shifting into the Positive Material Plane 
  where the luckless prey will be consumed.  
  It is not unknown for high level mages to summon and compel a Spined Shard to act as a guardian for some powerful magic 
  item, but extreme care should always be taken in such an endeavor for without proper protections the wizard will be instantly 
  attacked. 
  Enchanted +2 edged weapons will attack against armor class -3, and all +2 blunt weapons treat the creature as having armor 
  class 0. 
   
  The Spined Shard has the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect the Spined Shard,

  Another relative of the Crysmal is the Stilted Crysmal (See also Trilling 
  Crysmal) that is almost always found on the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral. On extremely rare occasions it will stray to the 
  Prime Material Plane in search of a rich mineral vein, but only in the deepest places of the underdark. Its diet is the same as its 
  smaller cousin, consisting of quartz, beryl, and conundrum crystals. Its favorite meal is always carbon crystals, and it had been 
  known to attack travelers whom are carrying diamonds of any sort. 
   
  The Stilted Crysmal will slash at an enemy with two of its long sharp edged legs, inflicting 2-12 points of damage with each 
  successful strike. As a secondary attack form the crystal based creature can use a special spray if crystals twice per day. Each 
  time it will project 2-6 of these razor edged crystals at an opponent, with each hit causing 1-4 +1 points of damage.  
   
  Edged weapons will attack against armor class -4, and all blunt weapons treat the creature as having armor class 0. 
   
  The Stilted Crysmal has the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect the Stilted 
  Crysmal, and electrical based attacks will only cause ¼ or no damage depending on the saving throw. Gases and poisons are

  Any adventurers that are brave enough to travel through the Endless 
  Crystal Grotto in order to reach the border area located between the Positive Material Plane and the Quasi-Elemental Plane of 
  Mineral will almost always encounter one or more of the massive Chamrols. These huge creatures (5 x D100’ in length) grow in 
  profusion throughout this area, their great stalks protruding far out into the energy plane. Possessing the qualities of plants, 
  animals, and pure mineral life the Chamrol is encountered nowhere else, for here is the only place where they can bask in such 
  an abundance of pure energy. 
   
  The “skin and tissue” of a Chamrol is usually composed entirely of lead that binds together a huge amount of extremely rare 
  minerals that are infused with living crystals. However the sage Siljameer once were within a Chamrol that was composed 
  almost entirely of gold, but such types are quite rare, occurring only 1% of the time. He could not even calculate the Prime 
  Material Plane value of the 400’ long behemoth.  
   
  The “roots” of the Chamrol extend deep within the extremely rich mineral veins that permeate the entire border area, slowly 
  pulling material into their structure. Some sages have theorized that the roots extend throughout the entire quasi-plane and 
  deep into the Elemental Plane of Earth. The surface of the Chamrols central stalk is coated with  foliated, mica-like growths of 
  crystals that have dozens of long living metal tendrils that protrude outward, reaching lengths of up to 100’. Any character that 
  comes within 20’ of the creature can be attacked by 1-6 of these tendrils as a 16 hit die monster, with each strike inflicting 2-12 
  points of damage. There is also a 15% chance per each stalk that hits in a round that the target will be entangled and held by 
  one or more tendrils; such victims are crushed for 2-20 points of damage per round per tendril. A successful bend bars / lift 
  gates roll at ½ the normal chance will free a trapped individual. Once a victim is killed the corpse will be flung into the Positive 
  Material Plane where it is destroyed forever. 
   
  Once per day the Chamrol can draw on the energy around it to unleash a tremendous bolt of raw, pure positive energy from 
  the tapered jewel-like end of the creature. This powerful jolt has a length of 120’ and a 30’ diameter. Anyone caught within this 
  beam receives 1-10 points of “curing” for each 10’ of the Chamrols length. This energy infuses the target, and if their hit point 
  total exceeds twice the normal hit points that target will simply explode. A save versus spells will reduce the effect by ½, and 
  since it is not a fire or electrical attack, devices which protect against such effects will not work. 
   
  Only weapons of +3 enchantment can damage a Chamrol and any edged weapons will attack against armor class -6, and all 
  blunt weapons treat the creature as having armor class -2. 
   
  The Chamrol has the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect the Chamrol, and 
  electrical based attacks will only cause ¼ or no damage depending on the saving throw. Gases and poisons are ineffective when 
  employed against a Chamrol. But they are affected by some spells: Shatter will cause 3-18 points of damage, a Glassee spell will 
  stun these creatures for 1-3 rounds, and a Stone to Flesh spell will make it armor class 6 for one melee round.

  The Elemental Energy Pod is a creature that dwells all along the 
  fringe area that lies between the Positive Material Plane and the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral. This bizarre spherical life 
  form spends most of its time cruising deep within the Positive Material Plane, where it absorbs positive energy which it stores 
  in nodules located at the end of its major tendrils. Occasionally this creature will stray into the mineral plane for extended 
  forays. 
   
  The stored energy is kept in botryoidal clusters like great glowing grapes, crackling with latent energy. Each cluster contains 6-
  24 nodules, of all different colors and intensity. 
   
  During combat the Elemental Energy Pod will flail with its 8-10 greater tendrils and is able to attack three separate opponents 
  with 2 tendrils each. On a successful hit 2d4 of these nodules are ruptured; they burst open releasing a blast of positive energy. 
  The damage inflicted on a target is 1-4+2 hit points for each nodule that explodes. One all of the nodules on a given limb are 
  broken that limb has no more effective attacks, and it slowly shrinks becoming a lesser tendril. Newly formed nodules appear o 
  the smaller immature tendrils which slowly grow as more nodules appear. 
   
  In times of stress an Elemental Energy Pod will “self destruct”, voluntarily releasing the stored energy from all of its remaining 
  nodules in a massive burst with a 15’ radius around the creature. Anyone or anything caught within the blast will take 1-4+2 
  damage from every remaining nodule. After using this attack form the Elemental Energy Pod will immediately flee back to the 
  Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral or into the Positive Material Plane. 
   
  Weapons of at least +3 enchantment are required and they will attack against armor class -4, and all similarly enchanted blunt 
  weapons treat the Elemental Energy Pod as having armor class 0: any lesser magical weapon that strikes it will have all of its 
  magical energy drained away permanently unless it makes a successful save versus magical lightning. And since it feeds on 
  positive energy (the source of energy for all magical spells and spell like effects) the creature will automatically absorb any spell 
  that is thrown at it. The energy is transformed almost instantly, with every three levels of spells creating one nodule.  
   
  Elemental Energy Pods are only very rarely ever encountered on the Prime Material Plane, and almost always they will serve as 
  guardians for magical treasures of a crystalline nature. There are rumors of a Negative Material Plane counterpart to this 
  creature. 
    
  The Elemental Energy Pod has the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect the 
  Elemental Energy Pod, and electrical based attacks will only cause ¼ or no damage depending on the saving throw. Gases and 
  poisons are ineffective when employed against this creature. But they are affected by some spells: Shatter will cause 3-18 
  points of damage, a Glassee spell will blind these creatures, and a Stone to Flesh spell will make it armor class 6 for one melee 
  round. The Elemental Energy Pod can phase into any stony surface within one round, and during that round a Phase Door spell 
  will cause 2-20 points of damage to this creature.

  Ages ago, a sizable band of Stone Giants made their way deep into the roots of the mountains to establish a new kingdom. They 
  searched for the richest veins of mineral, and in the process they found a searing bright portal that lead to the Quasi-Elemental 
  Plane of Mineral. The made many bold forays through the portal bringing back gem stones that were worth a fortune; 
  gemstones of such quality that even the giants were amazed. The huge nuggets of almost pure precious metals they brought 
  back by the sack full were turned into magnificent suits of armor and weapons. Each expedition that was sent grew more daring 
  in their explorations until eventually the king led almost the entire clan through the portal, determined to conquer the entire 
  realm, and proclaim himself lord. 
  They were met in battle by Crystalle and Quaartzz, along with thousands of lesser minions. The battle raged for many days, until 
  the inevitable happened. A great pulse of fossilizing energy rippled through the battle lines, the denizens of the plane were 
  unaffected, but in an instant the entire remaining force of giants were transformed; turned into living statues of crystal, living 
  yet frozen for all time. 
   But Quaartzz saw an opportunity and took a chance. In exchange for his freeing the giants from their “frozen state” they would 
  agree to serve for all time as wardens and guards within the grottos of the plane. They agreed to his terms and to this day they 
  serve their lords well, hopeful that one day they will be freed from servitude. 
  The Crystal Stone Giants are in almost every way similar to standard Stone Giants; employing crystal clubs that inflict 2-16 + 8 
  hit points of damage, and hurling boulders for 3-30 points of damage. They have acquired a small amount of magic resistance, 
  along with many of the elemental immunities, yet they can still be harmed by normal weapons. They cannot move through the 
  material of the plane like a normal elemental creature and must remain within the natural tunnels that exist. 
  The Crystal Stone Giants have the following Crystal Elemental Immunities:  Fire and cold based attacks cannot affect them, and 
  electrical based attacks will only cause ¼ or no damage depending on the saving throw. Gases and poisons are ineffective when 
  employed against a Crystal Stone Giant. But they are affected by some spells: Shatter will cause 3-18 points of damage, a 
  Glassee spell will stun these creatures for 1-3 rounds, and a Stone to Flesh spell will make it armor class 6 for one melee round.

  ARACKLE OF SILJAMEER VAROOSTE 
   
  The Arackle of Siljameer was crafted many centuries ago, long before the time of the Caur-ell wars.  It was reputed to be one of 
  the great magical items of its age, and discovering its location has been one of the major quests for many adventuring groups 
  over the years.  
   
  The device was comprised of a dozen or more magical gemstones of the highest quality (most  believe that they were IOUN 
  stones of incredible power), which were taken to the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral by Siljameer Varooste and his then 
  apprentice, Quann ra-Tioll Moorchlyne of Tiorth. There in a special fortress built on the edges of the Positive Material Plane and 
  the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Mineral a great magical feat was then performed. Using powerful dweomers, and with the aid of 
  one of the most powerful inhabitants of this strange realm the gemstones were merged together. With the aid of Crystalle the 
  fused crystals were then entwined with runes of binding. The process took days, and almost killed both of the wizards, and left 
  Crystalle severely weakened for several years. 
   
   The arch mage Siljameer then used powerful spells to shape his precious supply of IOUN dust, fabricating a magnificent 
  pendant and chain that would hold the conglomerate stone, wearing the device around his neck for the rest of his life. It thus 
  became a symbol of good, and was used many times since its creation as an oath stone to bring the kingdoms of the world 
  together. To swear on the Arackle was to pledge one’s life. 
    
  Upon Siljameer’s unexpected death at the age of almost 1200 years, his former apprentice Moorchlyne, now a Grand Arch-
  Mage in his own right, was bequeathed the Arackle and used its powers to further the cause of lawful good.  Moorchlyne was 
  later killed by the gargantuan ancient red dragon Verhouvenaxx, and for several decades the Arackle lay with Moorchlyne’s 
  remains in the great red dragons treasure cave. When the ancient dragon was itself eventually killed over 400 years later, the 
  Arackle was taken as a prize by the vile assassin Be-ta-Ryu, who killed all of his adventuring companions in a rage of IOUN greed 
  in order to possess the item. He wore the Arackle, and ruled as overlord of a great fortress city in the far south of Trinnian until 
  he himself became the victim to another assassin’s knife. 
   
  Thus had the Arackle slipped for a time into the hands of evil.  It has been handed down, stolen, or killed for over the centuries, 
  leaving a trail of blood and destruction in its wake. It changed hands from good men to evil men with regularity, each vying to 
  use it for their own cause. Until eventually it was carried into a final, great magical battle, and vanished in the dead lands of 
  Xuarphor, at the end of the Caur-ell wars. Transported in secret from the field of battle, it was hidden by the major forces of 
  evil, its power now lost to law, the strange powers of the Arackle used to hold the timeless city of Athen-Anarra in flux. 
    
  In its time among good men, the Arackle of Siljameer Varooste had been used by dozens of wearers. The device has been worn 
  by kings, wizards, thieves and clerics of renown.  Even the common adventurer has been able, for short times, to claim it as a 
  prize. Over the long years since the battle, many have searched for it, following fragmented clues and obscure rumors. The 
  strongest clues to its current whereabouts now point towards the strange valley of Athen-Anarra. The lure of such a treasure 
  has led many to their deaths…but still they try, for who could deny the allure of possessing such a thing. 
   
  Over the ages others have tried to duplicate the magics the Arackle was reputed to contain. But even though other arackles 
  with unique powers have been crafted, as yet none of these is as powerful as the Arackle of Siljameer Varooste is known to 
  exist. 
   
   The sometimes fickle magical benefits of the arackle will be felt upon uttering the command words:  ARUM - JAZZALLE. The 
  cluster of merged stones will begin to glow brightly and the user will feel a sense of energy coursing through his body. Most of 
  these effects however, change from day to day, most of the activations lasting for eight hours before the Arackle will need to 
  recharge its energies. Some effects last longer. 
   
  1) Like any IOUN item it takes a full week for the Arackle to attune itself to its wearer. 
   
  2) The Arackle functions as IOUN stones  #14 and #17 at all times. 
   
  3) Wearing the Arackle for more than one month will allow the wearer to adjust the initial random die roll by +2 or -2 
   
  4) After wearing the Arackle of Siljameer for 6 months the user also gains the use of an additional effect: the Arackle will  
  automatically function as IOUN stone #122 the changeling stone, with a random effect generated for each day. 
   
  5) The Arackle will have a -4 modifier to anyone who has to make a saving throw due to IOUN greed. Their lust to obtain it will

  Who could possibly deny or resist the beauty of this most wondrous thing. Each 
  of the merged stones scintillating with their inner lights. The large central stone 
  of deep emerald pulsed in time with the heartbeat of Siljameer Varooste. A 
  slight nimbus of soft light surrounded his body, tendrils of crackling blue energy 
  flickering between his fingers. The Arackle was his, and only he had the 
  complete knowledge  all of the powers it contained.  
   
  He held one of his smaller IOUN stones close to the Arackle and Moorchlyne 
  watched in amazement as the crystal structures merged, the smaller violet 
  stone becoming one with the conglomerate stones. And all the while the stones 
  “sang” with delight.

  AUTHOR’S AFTERWORD 
   
  Before I start the afterword I would first like to thank all of the dozens of players who have participated in my campaigns over 
  the past 30+ years. Friends still here and those who are gone; they all have affected me as much as I hopefully have influenced 
  them. And special thanks go to Jo (definitely the better half) who for 30+ years has put up with the confusion of people and 
  listened to the stories…the endless stories. To Gary Gygax I would say this, as I posted on Dragonsfoot forums:  
   
  “I think back on the literally hundreds of people that I have met just because of a game. I think of all the guys who...instead of 
  going out drinking, doing drugs, or whatever...They freely chose to sit around a table pushing little metal men, and pretending 
  for a few hours that they were heroes. Gary was the hero...who knows how many wayward youths were saved by his..."silly little 
  game".” 
   
  Special thanks also go to Sir Bloated Blowfish (R.S. Barker) from the Dragonsfoot Forums, who was quite generous of his time 
  and of incalculable aid in formatting and editing this document. He spotted numerous weak areas that needed more work, and 
  was always ready with excellent advice and helpful tips. Without him it would never have looked this good, I hope to work with 
  him again on other projects.  
   
  And last to my two boys, Zachery for his artwork and Alex who somehow pulled me back into AD&D after so many years away. I 
  didn’t realize how much I missed it. And also, a special a thank you goes to Frank Gunter, Jessica Brinkley, Hunter Reid, Jennifer 
  Eck and Adam Szafranski; all of them are friends who also helped with contributions of their artwork. And once again thanks to 
  Tom Baxa for granting permission for the use of his two drawings that were included in the original Dragon Magazine article. 
   
  Pinhead a.k.a. Matthew Hargenrader 
    
  Some would say why make such an expansive list for such a small item. I really can’t explain it; I just love the idea of these 
  extremely powerful gems. Ever since I first read the Dying Earth books5 by Jack Vance in the 70’s and 80’s I have been intrigued 
  by IOUN stones. Even the way the name was written, all in capital letters, with no explanation, enhanced their mystery and 
  importance. In these stories the powerful wizards of the age sought them relentlessly, resorting to trickery, thievery, and even 
  blatant murder in order to obtain more.  
   
  As a fan of fantasy and sci-fi I was immediately drawn to the AD&D game and was delighted to find that the IOUN stones had 
  become part of the milieu. But they seemed to have become so…mundane. There was little description of the why’s and 
  where’s of their strange powers; the strange circumstances of their origin was missing from the AD&D lore. Aiming to resolve a 
  little of this, I set about to clear up some background on these little treasures. For my campaign I had decided to make them 
  more of a part of the central plot (a major source of power used by the mysterious Zaeranni). Therefore there needed to be 
  much more information that the characters could discover, and I added quite a few unique IOUN stones to make them even 
  more desirable. The list that I used in my early campaigns quickly passed 350 stones and after a little coaxing from my gaming 
  group I decided to take a chance and submit my ideas for a downloadable supplement. 
   
  At one of the many writing seminars at the Gen-Con gaming convention I approached the then editor Roger Moore with my 
  ideas on IOUN stones, and thankfully my thoughts were appreciated. He asked for a submission (the writing of which is a story 
  in itself) and a short career was started. The only request that was made was that I try to find a way to incorporate the stones 
  true background into the existing AD&D “universe”, avoiding any possible delays with getting Jack Vance’s approval. The arrival 
  of the Manual of the Planes was like a godsend. The energetic and power infused border between the Elemental Plane of 
  Mineral and the Positive Material Plane was perfect, filling all of the requirements that I needed.  
   
  I wrote two articles that were published by Dragon Magazine6 in 1991 that sought to clarify the “true history” of IOUN stones. 
  Since that time I have been continually bringing new IOUN stones into my 1st edition AD&D campaign. Quite a few became 
  favorites with the players, others were…let’s just say, they were a bit much, dismal failures, or extremely complicated to use; 
  thus over time they were dropped or modified. There are quite a few IOUN stones on the current list that duplicate spells and 
  effects from the AD&D game, and why not? If we believe that magic spells are created by drawing their power from the Positive 
  material Plane, then why couldn’t an IOUN stone draw the same kind of power, focus it through the crystalline structure and 
  infuse the user with certain powers? It seems logical that such a thing could happen.

  The origin of CRYSTALLE and his advisor Quaartzz was kind of a mystery, but one that I have continued to develop. I just 
  imagined what an intelligent elemental could do if he somehow was able to harness the power of multiple IOUN stones. He is 
  not truly a god, nor is he the actual ruler of the Plane (note the moniker of “self-proclaimed ruler”) but he does have a great 
  deal of power, and has the grudging respect of many of the greater elementals. With virtually hundreds of IOUN stones he 
  possesses more than enough power to keep other elementals, or any intruders to his realm in check. 
   
  I readily and completely admit that the seeds of many of the IOUN stones on this list spring from later editions of the Dungeons 
  & Dragons game. Quite a few of the skills and feats from these later versions were modified by me to become powers 
  generated by IOUN stones in my 1st edition game. I have to give credit to quite a few of these IOUN stones to the many writers 
  of these books. Over the years I have “borrowed and reinterpreted” ideas from many different sources to create this list. The 
  Dying Earth Role Playing game books have quite a bit of information on IOUN stones, and I highly recommend any true fan of 
  Jack Vance’s works to read through those Tomes. I especially recommend Jack Vance’s book- Rhialto the Marvelous, and the 
  short story Morreion wherein the true story detailing the origins of IOUN stones and how they are harvested is completely 
  revealed. It was that single story, more than any other that influenced this entire project. 
   
  I was really pleased to see my article mentioned after all these years in Jonathan Drains IOUN stone blog about his article in 
  Kobold Quarterly7. And although we share quite a few of the same IOUN stones, the list from his article (and more importantly 
  his blog) contains several stones not included in my early list, most of which are for use in the later editions of D&D. I strongly 
  recommend readers who play the later editions of D&D to seek out Jonathan’s list. I probably would have never started once 
  again on this project if I hadn’t come across that article. 
   
  Since the first mention of IOUN stones in the Strategic Review I have wanted more. Since the publication of The Dungeon 
  Masters Guide I have made IOUN stones an important and integral part of my ongoing campaign. The campaign itself has been 
  around since 1978 and has stopped and started in fits and spurts. It is the usual story of a group forming, playing for a few 
  months or if you’re lucky a few years then the forces of reality usually intrude. School, college, girlfriends, work, marriage, 
  children etc. are ready to slowly remove key players, then the main campaign falters into smaller side adventures, until 
  eventually the demise arrives. Suffice it to say that the highest level characters in any of my campaigns after all this time are 
  between 10th and 14th level. None of the players have ever reached a level where they could venture to Crystalle’s domain.  
   
   I have worked on this project off and on for many years...finally it is done…maybe…I do have a few more ideas…maybe a list of 
  several magical items incorporating IOUN stones, possibly a supplemental list of any new IOUN stones that I come across.

  Piphany laughed with elven delight. The fools had 
  trailed her through the forest to the edge of the 
  great Kayithian Swamp. Using the power of the 
  pale yellow IOUN stone she ran lightly across the 
  water covered quicksand, enchanting the 
  surrounding vines to grasp and hold all who 
  followed…

  ‘Nothing’ had wrought a 
  flawless polish; for fifteen 
  miles this mirrored plain 
  extended, marred only at 
  the very center by a 
  number of black 
  pockmarks. Here the 
  IOUN stones were to be 
  found, in nests of black 
  dust.”
