Ben would notice that the shrinking would wear off. All things said and done, he was a good foot shorter than when he started. The stone didn't change its glow, nor did anything else move.

Age: 28
Physical Description: -----------------------------------------------------
Standing at 6 ft 2, possessing a body that has been honed by years of working aboard a pirate ship, Benjamin Jabari is a fearsome sight to behold.
His tribal tattoos remind him of the life he used to have but his scars remind him of the man he has become. The scars on his back and arms remind him of battles fought and punishments recieved.
His jet black hair is tied behind his head in short dreadlocks.
He has a strong jaw, but curious eyes - always on the look out for the next adventure.
--------------------------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Ben's main weapon is a long, thin-bladed scimitar, made of metal taken from a meteorite. Ben came across it in th cargo hold of a captured Saracen vessel and took it for his own. It blood red gleam caught his eyes immediately, surrounded by all the gold around it. Its dangerous beauty led him to give it the name "Vixen".
He also carries a one-handed crossbow for those tight situations where a sword just won't do. He has several quarrels hung around his body but it takes time to reload after each use.
He usually wears a brown sleeveless tattered cotton shirt, brown trousers sturdy black boots.
He wears a tribal pendant around his neck given to him by his father as a boy.

Once the shrinking stopped Ben checked himself. All his body parts were still attached but he was markedly shorter. His strong frame, once able to take on the largest of warriors in a fight was severely diminished. This would not do at all.
His mind thought to the writing at the edge of the pond and how it got smaller. Was it written by a man who had tasted the water and was in the process of shrinking?

(The letter was actually written on the stone at the edge of the pool, not on a piece of paper. I apologize for the confusion)

Benjamin was indeed short, possibly child-sized depending on his original height, but his mind was definitely still clear. A quick leap in logic would deduce that whoever wrote the note had drank far more water than Ben did just now, causing him to shrink even farther than the warrior did....possibly out of existence. As for what the letters said, for all he knew it was written by a blind man.

Ben decided to examine the crystal again. The strange blue glow that emanated from it the first time he'd touched it sparked an idea in his head. Maybe the water he'd ingested would cause a different reaction from the gem.
He scrambled up the mound, his stride shorter than normal. He almost had to reach up to touch it. He closed his eyes and hoped...

His hope would pay off. By touching the gem, that same glow would appear and slowly grow Ben back to his normal height. Barring adjusting his clothing, Ben had returned to normal.

Ben opened his eyes and to his immense relief found that his body had returned to normal. His 6 ft 2 frame was glowing a shade of azure, but that colour was leaving him fast. He breathed a sigh of relief as he flexed his sinewy muscles and shook his feet, as if tested them out for the first time.
So drinking the water healed you but also made you shrink, while touching the stone made you return back to normal. He couldn't help but wonder if the person who wrote the message of warning at the edge of the pool manage to scramble to the stone in time before shrinking to death.
Adjusting his trousers, he decided to exit this cavern. His fear and mistrust of magic having taken another battering. He skipped on the stones to the edge of the pool where the mysterious message was written. He took out a small fish knife from inside his boot and carved another message on the stone. It read "The water heals, the gem restores."
And with that he left the fountain of youth for the next adventurer to stumble upon. He walked back up the path he'd come down and out into the light of the evening air. His faithful dog Finbar was waiting for him. He felt a man rejuvenated. With the sea calling to him, man and dog set off in search of their next adventure.
