Crystallized Pumice

When you buy these from merchants... the information says 5 charges.

But once you actually buy them.. the information changes to say 1 charge.

I remember them being instant cast too =(

They've always had a cast time, why do you think Golem Bone Wands were so popular on pvp servers? Instant cast time, you really think a 5 charge 2 slot dispel pumice was instant? Fuck no.

I thought you were from a pvp server Allizia?

They were instant cast, and then nerfed cause they were too powerful for pvp.

I thought the instacast ones were egg-shaped pumice? I remember always carrying a bagful on my monk on rz. Then when they nerfed the casting time they were crystallized.
Looking into it a little more, it was called Egg-Shaped Pumice, 5 charges of Pillage Enchantment, and were instacast. 0.8 wt.

evidence of this will yield a fix

Here is a link to patchnotes adding a cast time to it

I think at some point before they added a cast time, egg shaped pumice were removed from vendors, and replaced with crystallized. They added a cast time because a lot of people stockpiled the old ones, knowing they would be removed. According to http://www.notacult.com/forums/happy-messageboard/832-pumice-stones-buy-em-quick.html it looks like sometime between 7-13 and 7-20 2000.
