Maybe I've been confused by the feat name of "enchant thunderstone." I've assumed that this can only be used under the rules for enchanting things. On the other hand, if the feat was called "create thunderstone" I'd assume you could use it as people have described: either power up a stone you have at hand, or create a delayed effect. In fact, were I actually running a game, I'd be inclined just to play it that way. However, as written, it is "enchant" not "create".

Am I being overly bound by semantics here? If you can use enchant thunderstone as an on-the-fly feat, could you similarly use "enchant <metal>" feats to generically magic up weapons, armor, or whatever, on the fly?
