You touch one to three pebbles and imbue them with magic. You or someone else can make a ranged spell attack with one of the pebbles by throwing it or hurling it with a sling. If thrown, it has a range of 60 feet. If someone else attacks with the pebble, that attacker adds your spellcasting ability modifier, not the attacker’s, to the attack roll. On a hit, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Hit or miss, the spell then ends on the stone.
If you cast this spell again, the spell ends early on any pebbles still affected by it.
I'm playing an artificer and i picked magic stone as a cantrip, but despite the text of the spell making it sound like i have to use an action to throw the pebble it displays as an action on the character sheet
Casting the spell uses the bonus action, and the coding to make the casting a Bonus Action, but the Attacks as an Action isn’t there yet. You can make the Action as a Custom Action directly on the character sheet, but as long as you remember that throwing a stone is an attack like throwing a dart, it’s not such a big deal.
