Sounds to me as though there wasn't any complusion at the time Cults of Prax was written, and so Biturian didn't have to resist it. Now there is...
If a newer source contradicts an older, it seems fair to use the newer, at least on this list (though what I get up to in the privacy of my own game is no-one else's concern). If something is mentioned in an old source yet not in the new, and doesn't contradict something else in the new - that can be used as well. Thus the amalgamation of compulsion (Elder Secrets) with regain after casting from the stone (CoP).

How often have your players found a piece of blank Truestone? If they only come across the rule as a muttered story in a bar or their temple, it doesn't matter how extreme it is. Plus you get the "Guard this Great Hero who has just lost all his Magic" plot, and the "We need a [insert spell of choice], but the priest found a blank stone then had it stolen", plus loads more.
What's the [sic] for. You disliked them so much you set the dog on them?
