Well, it's funny, but I found the "non-magical" solutions to the
problems so logical that I never had to use the stone at all until

(spoilers ahead) 

 

it was time to re-animate the cat statue (is there really a way to do
that without the stone?). In fact, it wasn't until then that I
actually realized that the stone *was* the wishbringer; I had assumed
that it was "just" a magical light source. 

So, since what I thought were the red herrings turned out to be useful
objects, what *are* the red herrings people keep referring to? The
mailbox?
