Combine some very nice base models (BigfootNZ's Ioun Stones VFX) with added textures (and some recoloring, and removal of most "glows"), plus a bunch of PW-specific custom scripting, and you get the ioun stones of the World of Aenea.
Follow the link to YouTube to watch the stones in action, as well as the easy to use stone management system.

One of my absolute favorite additions of custom content in Aenea. I will admit to having literally spent 10 minutes or more at a clip examining the orbits, geometry and color patterns in game... mind-bendingly cool.

Thanks for the comments folks. I've been having fun playing around with some screen recording software, and those stones look so much better in action than any simple screenshot can show. When I remembered the Vault had a movie section, I decided I'd post it to show people just some of the possible things you can still do with this "old" game. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

I've always wondered what those stones -should- be doing. Excellent work AD, you are amazingly creative, and your players must have a great time in the PW with all these wonderful little touches. :D
Thanks for sharing....some of the other spell effects look fun too! ;) _________________________ QSW -NWVault Reviewers Forum

A much needed add-on, I'd like to see these cool ioun stones floating around my characters in single-player modules as well!
PS: I am not really fond of the pyramidal and cubic stones, I think they would look much better (and more "stoney") if they were spherical or ellipsoidal or maybe spindle-shaped.
