Base damage	2

A small chunk of dense but otherwise unremarkable natural mineral. It can be thrown by hand or launched with a sling.

"How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears -
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity -"

-Emily Dickinson, "How happy is the little Stone". ca. 1865.

Stones are an extremely common form of ammo which can be either thrown by hand or launched from a hunting sling or fustibalus to deal minimal damage. While stones may seem unimpressive, they do have a few useful features:

Stones can be used for softening up early-game enemies.
Sandblast spell consumes one stone per casting directly from inventory, but no longer functions without ammo as of 0.20.
