Stone of power

A Stone of Power is an item players in the role of "the Hunted" use in the Fist of Guthix minigame. The Stone of Power is used to gather charges, which is the objective of players in acting as "the Hunted". The stone acts as a two-handed weapon (with no attack) and must be wielded to gain charges. Upon starting the minigame, the Hunted will obtain a Stone of Power from a dispenser located near the player's spawn location. Once held, charges are gained in groups every three seconds ("ticks"). The amount of charges gained is dependent on how close the player is to the centre of the arena. Three charges will be granted if the player is at the outer edge of the arena, progressing to six, 10, 15, 21 and finally 28 charges per "tick" in the centre of the arena. Every six charges (18 seconds) the Hunted will take 2% damage if 15 charges or less were gathered in the last tick. If more than 15 charges were gained, the player will take 5% damage. The player's statistics will also be drained whist holding the Stone of Power; the severity of which also increases with proximity to the centre.

The stone holds up to 5,000 charges, upon reaching which further "ticks" of charges will not count.
 * Gaining 28 charges per tick, it takes 179 "ticks" to gain 5,000 charges, which takes 8 minutes and 57 seconds.
 * Gaining 21 charges per tick, it takes 239 "ticks" to gain 5,000 charges, which takes 11 minutes and 57 seconds.
 * Gaining 15 charges per tick, it takes 334 "ticks" to gain 5,000 charges, which takes 16 minutes and 42 seconds.
 * Gaining 10 charges per tick, it takes 500 "ticks" to gain 5,000 charges, which takes 25 minutes.
 * Gaining 6 charges per tick, it takes 834 "ticks" to gain 5,000 charges, which takes 41 minutes and 42 seconds.
 * Gaining 3 charges per tick, it takes 1,667 "ticks" to gain 5,000 charges, which takes 1 hour 23 minutes and 21 seconds.

The approximate locations of the charge increment boundaries are as follows:
 * 3: Outer edge.
 * 6: In between the outer edge and where the minimap turns green.
 * 10: Where the minimap turns green. A distinctive straight row of impassable rocks that players often hide behind is a good marker.
 * 15: Around where the four houses are.
 * 21: In between the four houses and the centre.
 * 28: The centre, which is made clear by a circle of distressed, glowing ground.

Trivia

 * The Stone of Power is the joint fourth heaviest item in the game, tying with the barrelchest anchor and below the gold helmet, barrel of naphtha and big rock.
