** The 'Stone could give a bonus to this, and that would make sense just from the standpoint of someone making the item for use. Kyuad doesn't need a bonus on the Spellcraft check though. | ** The 'Stone could give a bonus to this, and that would make sense just from the standpoint of someone making the item for use.

* One thought is that the 'Stone might give a bonus to ''notice'' that a spell is being cast in the vicinity. It's my opinion that most spells aren't that easy to notice if someone isn't looking for them. Wiggle your fingers behind your coat and whisper to yourself, and you've got it done. Cast a spell in a crowd and people just think you're odd, not trying to kill everyone with a fireball. But, this is just based on the fact that "verbal component" doesn't have a volume requirement, and the magic used in movies I like tends to allow for as much subtlety as extravegance. So maybe this item makes it so that any spell being started nearby triggers a "spidey-sense" kinda tingling so you know to look out. | * One thought is that the 'Stone might give a bonus to ''notice'' that a spell is being cast in the vicinity.

*** Perhaps the 'Stone allows for counterspelling to be accomplished without readying at all. Like, anyone within Medium range (as defined by spell ranges) that casts a spell can be counterspelled by the 'Stone once per round, as a free action. | *** Perhaps the 'Stone allows for counterspelling to be accomplished without readying at all.
