Just to elaborate/clarify on what Zithax said about the banning(I used a little hyperbole today when talking to him about it's history), Magic was banned for something unrelated shortly after letting him use the stone when I went off to bed. Magic didn't hesitate to agree to let me keep the stone without a roll in the group, nor did Pheersome who was also there, which was pretty awesome of them both since they were the only two people in the group not in FSLS and it didn't serve them to help out our guild.
So I had loaned Magic the Manastone while I was out of town for a few days and very shortly after he was permanently banned.

Zexa ended up demanding that the GMs reimburse the manastone as it belonged to them. We LOL'd and didn't return the Manastone.

I feel like this makes me sound rather foolish, as if I were some unreasonable player demanding that the GM staff give me my loot back, which I willingly loaned to someone. I wouldn't expect it to be done on Live so I didn't expect it to be done here, but some of the people that were in the group that helped get it petitioned on my behalf and told me that Nilbog was considering it so I asked in PMs if it was a possibility.

The last I heard Nilbog was going to discuss returning it to me with the other GMs since he didn't believe that someone would loan a manastone. I wanted to PM you about this since not only were you there in Guk while I was showing it off to Sol Ro and Rogean, I was hoping you remembered me discussing it in group chat in our Unrest group before the ban.
Do you know if there has been a decision on this?
Thanks in advance. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help out.
Regards,
Zexa

Apparently(according to Wenai) the GMs just wanted to troll me for more laughs and responded that they asked Magic for his side of the story and that he didn't want the manastone on me because he was he was afraid I would be banned for cheating and it would be lost(relost?) forever. Thankfully I had AIM set to save chat logs on my work computer and sent Xzerion a conversation Magic and I had about it basically backing up my story. Xzerion said don't get your hopes up but they would talk about it.
*My hopes were indeed low*
Then there was a twist! This was during the time that the non-stop DDOS attacks caused Rogean to have to shut the server down, and the e-terrorist's only demand was for the staff to completely reverse all bans and forgive all offenders. The server is back and Magic is too!
To my surprise, Magic just asks me to meet him in Neriak so that he can return the manastone to me. I gate to our mutual home city and am rewarded with the manastone I feared was lost forever. Magic and I part ways and I'm left feeling perplexed yet thankful.
Thank you for letting me tell you a tale. And finally, the real reason I hit the "Reply" button...

Buyer beware. This is indeed the first manastone to drop on the server, but it can be deadly.
