I very rarely activate any stones besides one of the Guardian stones you find at the beginning of the game after escaping from Helgen, but I've recently started playing a necromancer and decided to use the Ritual Stone for animating nearby corpses.
I tested it's power on the bodies scattered near the shrine of Talos on the side of the road to Falkreath, and started walking along with a band of worshippers and a thalmor wizard, and they all ganged up on a bear and some wolves and bandits that I met along the way. I did not realise that once the power wears off, the corpses only collapse, they don't disintegrate, and so can be reanimated again if need be.
The second time I used the ritual stone's power was in the cave underneath Pinewatch, in the room with a group of draugr that the bandits killed when they took over. I reanimated all the draugr and set them against Rigel Strong-arm. She's a tough bitch and chopped the draugr down quite quickly, but their combined efforts took out a good chunk of her health bar, and my housecarl Rayya finished her off with her duel scimitars.
Has anyone else found some fun and interesting ways to use the Ritual Stone's power?
