This appears to be a small volcanic rock about one inch in diameter. When dropped into a container of liquid of no greater amount than one gallon, this stone will heat up and begin to boil the liquid. This is great for cooking soup or preparing water for tea while on the trail, when one doesn’t want to or can’t light a fire.

This would appear to be little more than a tiny clear crystal the shape of a cube. However, when dropped into liquid of no greater quantity than one gallon the liquid is cooled as if exposed to ice cubes.

This small, smooth, grey stone appears at first glance to be nothing of value, however it can be very useful. Once per day when held near a hearth or a collection of wood gathered to create a campfire, and when the command word is spoken, a small jet of flame shoots out and never fails to light the fire.
