I'm looking for some clarifications on the "Cracked" Vibrant Purple Prism Ioun Stone.

First and foremost, is the use of this Ioun Stone itself legal in PFS Organised Play?

Does the character using the Stone have to be an actual Spell-Caster themselves?

Can a Non-Spellcaster with Use Magic Device skill, themselves re-cast spells into the Stone, and what would the DC for doing this be?

And lastly, would personal spells - like "Shield",for example - be legal for PFS Organised Play if cast into this stone?

I have the "Seeker of Secrets" from which, of course, the Stone is sourced. But a link to a recent, up-to-date official ruling from the game developers / PFS staff etc on the exact legality and useage of the stone would be helpful to satisfy whatever GM might be at the table on a given day.

A couple of players in the past have also expressed doubts and reservations as well, if not to the legality of the item in PFS, then certainly to the use of it for casting personal spells - Shield being a classic example.

Many thanks and cheers.

If they are not a Spell-Caster but CAN still use the Stone, can the Spell-Caster who is re-filling the Ioun Stone use scrolls AND wands of the spell in question?

Can a Non-Spellcaster Use Magic Device skill themselves to re-cast spells into the Stone, and what would the DC for doing this be?

And lastly, would personal spells - like "Shield",for example - be legal for PFS Organised Play if cast into this stone?

Any assistance or link to the most recent and official rulings and clarifications would be most appreciated.

Hi there, I just have a query or two about the Formula Alembic wondrous item in Ultimate Equipment. Is the device reusable and thus the only additional cost is that of the subsequent potions distilled in it? And does the Alchemist need to make a Spellcraft check in order to scribe the formula into his book or is the knowledge gained for 24 hours enough in and of itself? It just seems like such an inexpensive and easy way to expand the Alchemist's Formula book that I wondered if there wasn't some sort of catch. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
