Do you think M69's "can only be used by mages" is over-rode by M70's "item’s user may tap its energy" for Dedicated Powerstone? IE could non-mage item-users tap DPs?
The 1/6h rate definitely means that the powerstone won't "regain FP" (it never had FP to begin with, it had energy) spent to fuel magic...
It seems like there might be a way around this (in a sense) for mages with Lend Energy though.
If a mage uses energy from a Powerstone to cast "Lend Energy" to restore his own FP, couldn't he then cast spells in VHM using that FP and then get it back the next second?
That's more time-consuming compared to powering spells directly from the Powerstone, and gives an additional chance for failure, but could be a decent strategy.

What if the subject was in VHM too? He would still be spending FP, even if it wasn't his own. Sort of like how you can spend ER from an ally whose ER has 'affects others'.
