The Stone: Preparation
* Rahvin had the stone in a pouch.
* Donari made specific note that we have made claim of the stone.
* May later have a charr touch it.
* Mention that the stone may not like humans.
* Explanation of the first experiment.
* Mention of it possibly exploding.
* Donari made specific note that we have made claim of the stone.
- Rahvin mentioned it may have laid claim to us (likely joking, but possible)
* We are not testing the stone on Selda's dog.* May later have a charr touch it.
* Mention that the stone may not like humans.
* Explanation of the first experiment.
* Mention of it possibly exploding.
- Note: It didn't. Yet.
* Selda blames Rahvin for any misfortunes.
- Notes Ravin rigged it if it's rigged.
- Donari notes it would have been done to "enhance our gains".
* Sphae confused this explanation with the one checking for deception wards.- Donari notes it would have been done to "enhance our gains".
- Note: The experiment where I bend reality did not take place. Yet.
The Stone: Experiment 1, Reality Bending
* I looked into the In-Between as noted, and down to the stone.
- I held it in my hands ungloved to no adverse effect, still.
* Results
- I heard whispering, magical echoes.
- Note: they were not a call. I imagine they could only be 'heard' if close to the stone itself, and feel it is less of a beacon and more of a risidual effect of some sort, given the magic. Perhaps sometime I can sit with it longer, listening to it through the In-Between, to see if they can be further discerned.
- The stone has a strong presence in the In-Between.
- Thus it does not follow the normal Rules.
- It is incredibly powerful.

Additional Notes
* Selda mentioned someone named Arianna having a theory
* Donari mentioned possibly tracing the connections and 'whispers' to see where they lead in the In-Between, if anywhere.
* Mention of a man named Sydney
* No tongues were lost in the course of these experiments.
- "It's a part of an ancient stone that limits magic or something. That's what she thought it was then I told her about it in Dry Top."
- "She thinks it has something to do with human blood too."
- "She thinks it has something to do with human blood too."
* Donari mentioned possibly tracing the connections and 'whispers' to see where they lead in the In-Between, if anywhere.
- Note: This would take some concentration and a bit of time, depending on how far they go. Also, it may leave me blind and deaf in 'normal reality' for a little while; if this is to be done, I would like it to be somewhere safe, and be able to have time for rest afterwards.
* Mention of a man named Sydney
- Left for the Priory.
- An early member.

The Stone: Experiment 2, Magic Determination
* The experiment was set up.
* Results
- The Stone was in the center.
- The foci were placed in equal distances around the Stone.
- Sphae provided foci for the 4 elements.
- I provided foci for other sorts of magic.
- Zaree helped set up the foci.
* Once set, the modified Null Field was placed around the Stone- The foci were placed in equal distances around the Stone.
- Sphae provided foci for the 4 elements.
- I provided foci for other sorts of magic.
- Zaree helped set up the foci.
* Results
- The Field itself was repelled and dispelled powerfully.
- It sent all the foci set up around it spinning away in a spiral, and then across the floor away from the stone.
- The stone is a powerful source of magic, strong enough to completely dispel the field which was tied to an area.
- Note: The stone itself is not magically repellant, which would be the other explanation. Instead, its power overwhelmed what was trying to counter it.

Additional Notes
* Rahvin thought we may be doing the 'wrong tests'.
* Donari mentioned using it in circus acts, or as a trampoline.
* Theory was mentioned of them being, fragmented from, or connected to the Bloodstones.
* Abrecan mentioned destroying it.
* There was mention of the Priory taking the stone by Selda.
* There were questions of why it was locked away.
* Donari mentioned using the stone.
* Zaree asked if it were a krait shard.
* Mention of it being a weapon.
* I began to explain the final experiment.
- Note: I am not entirely sure what the 'wrong tests' are, if we know nothing of something and are testing its properties for any more information than we have, but perhaps I will ask later if she has particular suggestions.
* Donari mentioned using it in circus acts, or as a trampoline.
- Note: I think that, while amusing and possible, is a terrible waste of potential, and might possibly be dangerous to those doing so for any number of untold reasons. The magic from this source might be able to be redirected into many magical trampolines, and much more.
* Theory was mentioned of them being, fragmented from, or connected to the Bloodstones.
- Note: I am uncertain how protected the Bloodstones were, but for some reason, I highly doubt that one would simply be placed in a chest, unwarded, that can simply be broken with no reprocussions, and thrown into a cave. Perhaps there are a manner of circumstances for that, but it seems highly doubtful. I have no proof for this thought, however.
- Note: I will need further research on the Bloodstones. While they are a known example of a 'source' of magic, I do not know if they are the only one. It's also possible that the Bloodstones were being replicated somehow, that this isn't actually one of them, and instead something with similar (though expertly done) properties.

* Abrecan mentioned destroying it.
- I will do all I can to see this does not happen; it could be catastrophic in a large number of ways to attempt.
- This suggestion, thankfully, was turned down.
- This suggestion, thankfully, was turned down.
* There was mention of the Priory taking the stone by Selda.
- Donari turned this down, the Jesters will remain holders of the stone.
* There were questions of why it was locked away.
- Why in a chest?
- Who did so?
- Is someone returning for it?
- Note: I should ask where Rahvin acquired the map.
- Note: I should also write up more experiments, and do as Donari suggested, as far as tracing any connections it may have from the In-Between. See if it is 'calling' or if it can be 'heard'.

- Utilizing for some schemes.

The Stone: Exeperiment 3, Sight Unseen (Incomplete)
* I gave summary of the experiment.
* Rahvin mentioned she is not educated in runes.
* Also talk about non-humans potentially deciphering the change in runes if they touch the stone.
* Results
* Rahvin mentioned she is not educated in runes.
- Though she only saw them when the runes touched her skin.
- It sounds as though the stone changed then.
* Mention of the runes potentially being a different old language.- It sounds as though the stone changed then.
* Also talk about non-humans potentially deciphering the change in runes if they touch the stone.
- Thus Abrecan held it to see what change there was in them.
* Results
- The stone ebbed.
- On a flatter surface, appeared a triangle, radiating out into a burst like a sun, and from there, sigils formed by various connecting curves.
- There is a diagram below:
[ Placeholder for symbols on the stone ]
- The markings were faint.

Additional Notes
* Rahvin seemed to recognize them.
Rahvin's Explanation
- she appeared disturbed at first.
* Donari suggested several things.
- The Mists
- Her parents.
* Selda said 'something older?' as though it had meaning.- Her parents.
- Note: It seems there is something from a prior incident that may be brought up here.
* Rahvin then went to explain.
* Margonites were mentioned.
* Seems certain that this is a Bloodstone
- Not many knew much of them.
- Mentioned a 'while ago' before shifting thoughts.
* Doesn't know what the sigil means.- Mentioned a 'while ago' before shifting thoughts.
* Seems certain that this is a Bloodstone
- or a fragment of one.
* Sigil has something to do with the 4 Schools of Old magic.
- Note: This is something I must look into further myself.

--
Containment of the Stone
