These Heatstone and Coldstone were changed in July 1999. They used to have 1 clicky charge of Serpent Sight and Ultravision each. They became wearable after this point:

- The Magician's Summon Heatstone and Summon Coldstone spells will now work as long as the Stone is held or worn (the spell effect will never wear off).

This is pretty good. It lets you summon a stone that may be "drank" to
provide Serpent Sight. Very handy. Coldstone is the next one, which provides
Ultravision, as opposed to Infravision.

I'm not a magician, but my partner is. Good luck.

Oh, so Heatstones wear off with time? Bummer.
