I seem to recall in the Cults of Prax narratives that Biturion is, at one
point, passing this blank truestone from hand to hand, trying to decide
whether or not to sell it to the Lhankor Mhy temple. Doesn't sound like
he was having a hard time resisting any spell compulsion, just his
compulsin to keep the stone. Maybe the Elder Secrets rules [sic] are a
bit extreme in this respect?
