Cracked Vibrant Purple Prism Ioun Stone and the cheesiest thing I've ever thought of


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

So I've received a boon that lets me choose one PFS legal item for free up to 3,000 gp. It does not work for upgrading existing items, so I have to make a purchase. Problem is, I'm a level 9 fighter who already has most of the items I need that cost under 3k gp.

So I started looking at Ioun stones, and one jumped out at me: The Cracked Vibrant Purple Prism Ioun Stone. It allows you to store up to 1 spell level in the stone as a ring of spell storing.

Rings of spell storing, RAW, allow you to cast multiple spells in a ring, until their combined spell level reaches the limit of the ring.

I've looked, though not super hard, for some errata or Additional Resources for PFS that state the stone can only use Level 1 spells, but RAW there are none.

So what is to stop a PFS player melee non-caster player such as myself from taking that stone (2k) and having my friend's Inquisitor cast Disrupt Undead, Resistance and Virtue into my stone 1000 times (Standard actions so that's 6 seconds per casting right), or 5 hours of casting 0-level spells into my stone.

Now anytime I face something undead from range, I use disrupt and can avoid closing in on those pesky shadows or wraiths.

Also, I now have 1000 minutes of +1 to all my saves

And just before a big fight breaks out, I tap into 10 uses of my Virtue for essentially 8 rounds of 10 Temporary HP (so let's absorb most of that first blow with no need for healing)

Now I know what's keeping me from doing it, the smell of gouda would be so overwhelming I wouldn't be allowed to sit at the table until I bathed, but RAW this is all legal isn't it?


"Up to one spell level" meaning when you reach that the stone is "full." No multiple castings beyond level one.

If it could hold three spell levels you could have any combination of spells that adds up to three put in it. Such as 6 cantrips or 3 magic missiles, or one magic missile and one scorching ray or one fireball.

It's a bucket. Once you reach the number indicated it can't hold anymore.

but the spells i listed ar 0-level spells

Liberty's Edge

0-Level spells always count as "1/2" of a spell level for purposes such as these, so you'd only be able to store two of them not an infinite number.

Another thing to note: Virtue doesn't stack with itself. The most you can EVER have from virtue at any given point is 1 temp HP.

Also, the +1 to saves is a Resistance Bonus. If you don't have something that gives you one already, I'd spend my 3,000gp on that instead, if I were you.


your best bet is to have a caster cast shield into it for you. unless youre a shield user that is probably the best bang for your buck you can get from a 1st level spell.
