In the week or so I've been in possession of the "Stein der Weisen" I've tried many things to squeeze out it's secrets.
The first thing I tried was to just suck on the stone and see if it would impart any regenerative powers my way. Despite it's oily taste I think it might have helped a little with a nagging pain I've been experiencing after a minor surgery. At least I think I could ride a horse now without wincing.
After that modicum of success I thought I should try my hand at some transmutation. I was a little skeptical. If it worked why wouldn't it just change the travel bug into gold? But I might as well try. The first thing I had handy was an aluminum beer can. After a lot of rubbing the best I can do is get it to change into a "Silver Bullet" (Which came in handy when I encountered some werewolves a few hours later. I gave them a few Coors Lights and we howled the night away listening to Bob Seger)
On my final attempt I crushed a bit of the stone into a fine powder. I tried adding it to quite a few different solutions and potions. Almost of all of them failed to do anything. All but one that is. I found a pdf on the web describing how the ancient Egyptians made a magical solution that was both restorative and transformational.
Following the recipe, I added some of the crushed stone to some water then added in some hops and barely and a few other grains and then just a touch of yeast and heated it in a large copper pot. What resulted was pure liquid gold! A true nectar of the gods! After a few drinks of the new mixture you start feeling like superman. You can accomplish anything, it even makes you the funniest person in the room! The mixture can even have a great effect on your bank account! Truly transformative! It's so great I have sold the formula to a bottling company in order to share it's wonderful goodness with the rest of the world. So look for STEINS de WEIZEN at a store near you. (my favorite is the hefeWeizen)
