Stones:
Stones are items commonly used in making magical items. When used to make an item the stone is absorbed into the magical item, and many types of stones are destroyed when used as a magical item.
Elemental Stone: Elemental Stones are natural precious gems that are commonly used in the making of magical swords as a way to bypass the need for a caster.
A Lesser Elemental Stone can be used to maximize an elemental spell matching the stone's type of third level or below without taking up a higher level slot by a caster, but this destroys the stone. When merged with a weapon it gives an elemental property of the stones type (EG Flaming) and a Lesser Elemental Resistance property of the stones type. A Lesser Elemental Stone costs 20,000 GP.
A Moderate Elemental Stone can maximize an elemental spell matching the stone's type of 6th level of below without taking up a higher level slot by a caster, but this destroys the stone. When merged with a weapon it gives an Elemental Burst property of the stones type and an Improved Elemental Resistance property of the stones type. A Moderate Elemental Stone costs 40,000 GP.
A Greater Elemental Stone can maximize an elemental spell matching the stone's type of 9th level or below without taking up a higher level slot by a caster, but this destroys the stone. When merged with a weapon it gives an elemental Burst property of the stones type, the ability to shoot a maximized Elemental spell (Lightning Bolt, Fireball, Coldball (as fireball for cold), Acid Bolt (as lightning bolt for acid), or Shout depending on the stones elemental type) once per day at CL 20 from the sword, and the Greater Elemental Resistance property of the stones type. A Greater Elemental Stone costs 80,000 GP.

Frost Sapphire
Acid Emerald
Lightning Amethyst
Sound Diamond

Charge Stones
Charge Stones are a rare material whose origins are unknown. A Charge Stone has 20-100 blank charges in it when found, and these charges automatically alter to a spell that is cast upon the Charge Stone. This makes a Charge Stone an instant wand or staff, without the normal XP cost for crafting one. While a Charge Stone alleviates the cost of crafting a Wand or Staff, and XP cost for casting the spell is taken from the person using the Charge Stone when the stone casts it. Any spell cast on the Charge Stone is cast by the charges, though the stone loses a number of charges equal to the spell level of the spell being cast and can only ever "know" one spell.
A blank Charge Stone is worth 1,000 GP per charge, ranging up to 100,000 GP for a full 100 charges.
Animation Stone
An Animation Stone is a blue octagon shaped gem with green stripes running through it. In the center of the octagon is a cutout section that is hexagonal in shape. To use an Animation Stone a corpse or object must be prepared with an octagonal indentation where the stone can be placed. Upon placement the corpse or object is animated and under the control of the stones' placer. A corpse is animated as if by an Animate Dead spell cast by a Wizard with a CL of 32, and an object is animated as if by a Cleric with a CL of 32.
