Manastones are the 'newest' form of magical crystals in the Empire, dating back only a few thousand years. A Manastone is used to power charged magic items.  Manastones come in four common sizes: small, medium, large, and huge.
Large Manastones are used to power larger items such as siege bombards, catapults, trebuchets and snails, golems and constructs up to size large, and ley carriages.  A large Manastone weighs ten pounds and costs ten gold when empty.  Large Manastones hold large charges which are ten times as powerful as a standard charge.  A large Manastone holds 50 large charges, and typically costs 20 gold per charge, so a fully charged large Manastone is worth 1010 gold. 
Large charges may be used as regular charges to power personal magical items if you make a Use Magical Device roll against a target of 25 + the caster level of the magic item being powered.  If you succeed on this roll by 5 or more, only 1/10th of a large charge is expended.
A Large Manastone can be used to provide Huge charges at a cost of ten Large charges to one Huge charge if you make a Use Magical Device roll against a target of 10 + the caster level of the device being charged.
Note that there is some degree of danger to using incorrectly-sized magical charges!  If you fail the Use Magical Device roll, you inflict one point of sonic and force damage to yourself and all within five feet of you for each point you missed the roll by.  Yes, you can deliberately fail a Use Magical Devices roll to inflict damage.  It's extremely hard on you, though.
