Normally with an 'Affects Others' advantage you need to make the sapient choice to affect another with that advantage using a Ready maneuver...

One thing to reference here would be the Improved Zombie that Kromm wrote up in Pyramid 3/1

"The zombie lending him energy must take a Ready maneuver (not fight!) to do so" is the condition mentioned.

To 'affect other' without taking a Ready I think would require 'Reduced Time' enhancement to make it a free action, but you would still need awareness of the person being there.

This makes me think something like Reflexive +40% might be necessary for Powerstones to be automatically affecting those who touch them with access to their ER, since they are insensate characters.

It's definitely not legal. If you want to forgoe objects resisting your spells you should make it a Malediction which targets Will, objects have IQ/Per/Will of 0 so the best result they can get (at a 3) is a MoF of 3, so any successful roll (which Malediction requires anyway, it doesn't work with MoF 1 for example) will work against them.
