This is from what I've read in fiction.
Though thinking about it, it might be safer to have it lost than to have it put into a highly guarded room that just shouts "something important is in here!"

Upsides? Well, there's the whole unkillable thing. Nothing like being able to burn infinite HP for your spells, survive a ballista bolt to the face, and retaliate with exploding fireballs and lightning.
If the mage cast the spell himself, he knows exactly where and what his soul stone is. If he made a deal with a demon, his soul stone could actually turn out to be his favorite wine glass...
