Do you have to take an action to throw a magic stone?
That’s the key: you must throw the stone (or shoot it from a sling) to make the spell attack happen. This requires taking an Attack action, most likely. It’s a common pattern for a bonus-action spell to enhance a normal attack, so that you can cast the spell and then immediately attack as your action.
Can a caster throw a stone as an attack?
The caster throwing one as an attack is another action (Attack action, next round). Another character, however, could take and throw one as an attack on his turn. I do agree that you can only throw one at a time as well. Agree, bonus action is the enchantment of the stones.
Which is the generic action in magic stone?
