Despite the best research efforts of sages and loremasters, there does not appear to be any correlation between the colour of a Power Stone and whatever bonus it provides. The effects of a Power Stone apply only to whoever is carrying it in their possession, and the bonus can raise a score above its Initial value. However, should the Power Stone be taken, stolen or lost, all bonuses are then cancelled. Power Stone effects are cumulative, if more than one is carried, but they are also heavy, and each counts as one item for encumbrance purposes.
Lothar, the Warlock-Prince of Gundobad claimed that one could choose what effect a Power Stone would have by expending a Magic Point as it was handled for the first time. This knowledge was gleaned during his Trial of Kingship, when he discovered several Power Stones in the volcanic tunnels beneath the jungle-clad isle of Orcmoot. Orcmoot is one of the few known places to find Power Stones, but rumours indicate the Crucible Islands may be another likely source of the glowing jewels.
Power Stones can also be used as a fuel source for the magical art of Technomancy, alongside Storm-Crystals, Warpstone, Green Metal nuggets, and so on. However, should a Power Stone be used in this way, it will no longer provide any beneficial effect to bearer.
Lothar also discovered that Lava Worms have an affinity for
Power Stones, and have been known to sniff them out using sensory pits
dotted around their mouth, and swallow the stones for some kind of weird
nutritional purpose. Lava Demons are aware of this ability, and use
packs of Lava Worms to hunt for these rare magical rocks on the Demonic
Plane of Obsidian, for Power Stones are much-valued as currency there. Other Demonic Planes with rumoured Power Stone mines include the Plane of Steel and the Plane of Pain.
