A loadstone becomes cursed when it leaves your inventory, not when you pick it up. So if you somehow manage to encounter an uncursed loadstone in the dungeon, you can in fact pick it up and drop it again, as long as you only do so once. I think this point should be corrected in the main article, but I'm not sure how to go about it, since it's a very subtle point, that makes almost no difference in gameplay, so the correction ought to be subtle.

As far as I know, the only way to encounter an uncursed loadstone is to find one that was generated inside a container. Djao 12:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
