Malacon gems could be used to store a spell and release it at a later time , making them ideal for pranks , surprises , defenses , or death traps to those who knew the modifications necessary to cast a spell into this gem . The spell could be released in one of three ways : by physically breaking the gem , either by striking , dropping , or crushing ; by the caster touching the gem and exerting his or her will to call forth the spell ; or when a predetermined interval , set during the original casting of the spell , had passed . In the first case , the caster had no control of the spell , it went off with the gem as the origin or center of the spell . In the second case , the caster had full control of the spell as if he or she had just cast it from memory .

In all cases , the gemstone was destroyed or harmlessly vaporized when the stored spell was triggered . It was possible for someone other than the caster to take control of a spell stored in a malacon , but it required great skill in the use of very specialized spells .
