((OOC note, Xarces, I'll allow this due to the origin of your character and since we're already late into the beginning of this story, but the whole idea behind the stones is that people tap into their magical abilities with the help of the Stones. Without the Stones people either can't or are greatly hindered in using their magic. Again, I'll allow this, no big deal, just kinda the rule I was wanting to give this world.))
