Stones function the exact same way in every game except ''Mystery of the Emblem''. Stone weapons grant their user substantial stat bonuses when equipped, reflecting the power of transformed state. Every time the user attacks or is attacked, the equipped stone is activated at the very beginning of the battle before either participant does anything, regardless of whether the stone user is within [[range]] to counterattack, and the transformation is reverted at the battle's end and the unit appears in their humanoid form on the map. The stone's [[durability]] is consumed with every time the stone wielder actually attacks, not just when they transform without attacking. Without an equipped stone, needless to say, a stone-user will not transform, will receive no stat boosts, and will be completely unable to attack or counterattack.

Although the existence of dragonstones dates back to the original ''Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light'' and has persisted throughout the entire series, stones were technically classified and treated as regular [[item]]s despite their offensive use for most of the series' history. The [[Nintendo DS]] remake {{title|Shadow Dragon}} was the first game to treat stones as a separate weapon classification, ''Awakening'' was the first to give stones their own [[supply convoy]] box, and {{title|Fates}} was the first to give stones a proper increasing [[weapon level]]; the ''Fates'' stone weapon level is shared between both stone types as well as the other [[Strike|non-human weapon types]], and if a character has a class pool that includes wielders of both types of stone, the weapon level will carry over between both stone types.
