Nah. I know that's the RQ3 version, but the RQ2 era material paints a different picture.

I think the RQ-3 era treatment is a terrible piece of writing, and deserves to be ignored.

I use Truestone much more like the ultimate crystal, with a set capacity. I'm not sure I like the blank/set logic either. That is quite nice as _a_ type of Truestone, but I like to think there are also ones that do not get set (you can store different things in them at different times), and ones that are aligned with a certain rune. So a 6 point Death-stone could store Humakti, Zorak Zorani etc. magic, or Death related spirits or sorcery.

I'll propably go with a "runic" stone like that having twice the capacity of a generic stone (so 1d6*2 for a small piece).

I also like to use Truestone like a more cinematic version of a crystal for the purposes of housing a spirit, daemon or essense (again as the crystals work in RQ2).
