Arguments FOR: That's what the Minty Stone's description says.
Arguments AGAINST: The description of a stone does not necessarily define
the effects of a stone when it is thereby wielded. See the mismatch between
the wording of rule 2640 and 2641, whereby "description" does not
necessarily align with "any effects that it defines as occurring when the
stone is wielded." Is it necessarily true that description of a stone is to
be interpreted when determining that it has any effects?
Rule 2640/4 (Power=2)
Stones
A stone is a unique indestructible liquid asset defined by the
rules. To define a stone, the definition must include:
(i) A name unique among stones;
(ii) The smoothness of the stone, which is a non-negative integer;
(iii) A description of the stone's properties
(iv) Optionally, a frequency, which must be one of daily, weekly,
monthly, or quarterly.
Ownership of stones is entirely restricted to Agora and active
players. If a stone is owned by the Lost and Found Department or
in abeyance, it is immediately transferred to Agora.
The Stonemason is an office, and the recordkeepor of stones.
Mossiness is a Stone switch with values of non-negative integers
and a default of 0 tracked by the Stonemason. When a stone is
transferred from Agora to a player or from a player to Agora, its
Mossiness is set to 0. The mossiest stone(s) in a set of stone is
(are) the stone(s) with the highest Mossiness value.
The Slipperiness of a stone is that stone's smoothness plus its
mossiness.
Rule 2641/2 (Power=2)
Wielding Stones
Except as otherwise specified by the rules, the owner of a stone
CAN wield it by announcement specifying any values needed to
interpret the stone's effects.
A stone with a frequency that has been wielded in the corresponding
Agoran time interval is Hot for the remainder of the time period
(e.g. if the frequency is daily, it is hot for the remainder of the
Agoran day it was wielded during).
While a stone is hot, it is IMPOSSIBLE to wield it or to transfer
it by announcement
When a stone is wielded, the Rule defining that stone applies any
effects that it defines as occurring when the stone is wielded.
The wielding of stones is secured.
