The must transfer seems to be clearly on wielding, as all of the stones are
formatted that way, with the wielding effect directly after the colon.
True enough on the part about must transfer, but the stone clearly says
that the original wielder only gets the coins "then", aka after the stone
is transferred. So there's no benefit in wielding and not transferring it -
you can keep the stone for the whole month but obviously it will be
collected.
Overall I think these objections are meritless, although it could have been
clearer. Proposal can be passed as is imo.
