If the islanders are ever to band together and liberate themselves by seizing the magic stone, then they must first stop praising the owner for making them work, and they must stop plotting to destroy the magic stone that could liberate them from their toil.

They can try, but it will be very difficult when the owner has mechanised autonomous killer bots that never sleep and won’t stop until every single incanter has been wiped out.

Dude, your story proves nothing. It's a fantasy. It doesn't map to the society we live in, or any realistic social change. The islanders didn't do anything before the "magic stone" to change their situation ('cause that ain't the first stone, there have been dozens before it), and they're unlikely to do anything different afterwards.

Also, if you think about your story correctly: the "magic stone" doesn't liberate the islanders, it destroys their power to make change.
