The Black Griffon Mana Stone

The Black Griffon

This is a really big mana stone, really big. It can hold up to 500 FT. It can be used by anyone within it's aura which has a radius of 0 hexes + 1 per 50 full points of FT in it. Also the aura will mask the auras of any within so they are unreadable (unless they have something like Illusionist clearsight). Using it does have some problems.

First off it's a stone baby griffon. It weighs 35 lbs and incurs a -2 AG penalty to anyone carrying it. It's damn awkward.
Second, it leaks FT, every day it'll leak d10 FT, D100 FT in a low mana zone. Additionally any dimensional transport totally drains it. Portable Holes, Dimensional containers (including the tower shaped versions) count as dimensional transport.
Third, it's somewhat unstable. For every 5 FT it contains, the threshold for a backfire is decreased by 1. For every 50 FT it contains the range at which this occurs increases by 1.
e.g. The BG contains 172 FT, this increases the backfire threshold by 34 (So a backfire occurs if you fail by more than 6) and this effect affects all within 3 hexes. Any extra FT costs however will come from the item.
Fourth, should the item ever contain more than 500 FT or less than 0 FT (due to a backfire, not to daily leakage) then phone me.
If I cannot be contacted assume very bad things happen.
