Effect | The caster enchants a small stone, which changes its form dependent upon the resulting effect for up to 24 hours while orbiting the caster protectively. The caster can grab the stone and put it away, which temporarily disables the effect. It will resume when tossed into the air again. At any time, the caster can dismiss the power in a stone, removing the enchantment. Guardian Stones that must be activated to use their power do not require a verbal component to do so.
Initially, the caster is limited to a single guardian stone from the Minor Enchantment table. When the ritual is completed, the channeler rolls a 1d10 and gains the correlating guardian stone. At Rank 3, in addition to a Minor Guardian Stone, the caster gains the ability to enchant a second active guardian stone using the Major Enchantment table. At Rank 5 a third guardian stone (from the Greater Enchantment table) may be added to the channeler's collection. The channeler may only have one of each at a time. The first guardian stone of each type created in a 24 hour period is free, however, if a stone is dismissed, destroyed, or used up, recasting the stone costs 1 mana for a Minor guardian stone, 2 mana for a Major guardian stone, and 3 mana for a Greater guardian stone.
