Hmmmm... my memory is playing tricks on me. Okay, here's what will happen.

First, the new warlock can continue to learn stone spells. Because Stone is not one of the warlock's native schools of magic, he learns at a slower rate -- one-half his level. So at level 2, he can learn level 1 stone magic; at level 6, he can learn level 3 stone magic. He can cast any spell at any time, contrary to what the manual says.

There is a catch, although I've not run into it. Apparently, your sorcery skill may affect your ability to learn other spell schools, also at a half-rate. So you won't be able to learn level 7 stone spells until your sorcery is level 14, which means you're a zenmaster and already had access to level 7 stone natively.

I'm not completely convinced on that catch, though, but I know that others are convinced it happens. I just haven't seen it.

Bottom line is that I would wait until your wizard has level 7 stone and the meteorstorm spell (at the least) before moving on.
