Threshold-limited magic and spirit-assisted magic are more historically accurate interpretations of magical energy than the standard system. Humans channeled magical energy rather than providing magical energy, and the channeling left a mark of the very soul of the individual. In the case of sorcerers, they would use threshold-limited magic, as they drew from the world around them. In the case of conjurers, they would use spirit-assisted magic, as they drew from a spiritual patron.

In the former case, a buffer stone would insulate practitioners from the distortion caused by channeling ambient magic. In the latter case, a favor stone would provide the same protection from their patron. In neither case would the stones contain magical energy.
