Well, the Truestone has been set into the pattern of the spells originally cast into it, and anyone who can cast those spells can refill them. If they are cast using RunePower, or specifically sacrificed-for spells does not matter. In the case of a blank piece, the player should get first choice of the spells put in, but the referee should moderate this to ensure that a representative spread of the character's spells are cast. I would not allow a player with 20 points of Runepower to put it all into a spell that he has never actually used, I might insist that no more than 3 points of a never-cast spell are put in.
I do not hold with the idea of just the points limit being set, I prefer the specific spells to be set.
>... the Block ...
The vast bulk of the Block contains the Binding spell that Storm Bull put into it to trap the Devil. The shards that break off are blank, and if you could break a 'set' Truestone, the larger portion would retain the magic, and the smaller portion would be blank. As to the rumour that touching the block causes you to lose all your divine magic, this could be explained by faultlines in the Block, thus internal portions of the Block count as separate pieces, and the outer areas of the Block conduct all your magic into these inner areas. Thus, occasionally a charged piece of Truestone can be found around the Block.
All IMO.
