If this runestone is active, a successful physical weapon attack (melee or ranged, but not spell) by the affected character against a monster will negate any ability–natural or magical–of the monster to regenerate or be healed. The no-healing effect lasts for the remainder of combat.
Note: Once affected by the Viper Runestone effect, the monster loses the ability to restore HP damage from any source, not just weapons with a Viper Runestone effect.

Reveals all sources of magic in the room to the wand’s user
In years past, it allowed the character to search a room for traces of magic, magical writing, and magical runes. The effect was somewhat short-lived. The player was given a UV light and had 30 seconds to try and find traces of magic, which glowed blue under the special light.
