But it's not:
"If a person casts his spells into the stone and loses it,
then he loses those spells until someone else uses them.
Such was what happened to Bituarian when he met the Chalana
Arroy priestess and bought his way out, for it appears
that he put in all of the magic which he carried (that the
Chalana Arroy priestess could use) into the rock before
handing it over. This precludes combat spells which the
priestess could not use, and others such as the Summon Ancestor
spell which she thought too risky too have. Bituarian could
judge parts of her voyage as he recalled various Rune spells,
like the early use of Path Watch and his Shield spells.
