Gee, I don't know; I think this is really pretty cool. From a mythological/Gloranthic point of view, why SHOULD'NT a thunderstone have some kind of affect on the ability to summon a storm? It didn't have any such effect in RQ, but then again RQ rules aren't a good guide to Gloranathan reality. It has a kind of mythic resonance that I like, making Thunderstones more than just another way to hurt people by tying them into Gloranthan reality more plausibly.
YMMV, Guy
