Pebbles can be used for the POP spell. It is similar to HOT or ZAP in that its main purpose is dealing damage but its stamina cost is greatly reduced. Another advantage POP has is that it stuns certain enemies for a short while, allowing you to cast POP again. This allows you to stun-lock certain enemies and prevent them from ever entering melee combat with you, though this method does use up a lot of pebbles.
Alternatively, a pebble may be thrown as a crude ranged weapon or dropped down a hole to test how deep it is.
