D&D 5E (2014) Why doesn't Magic Stone get better?

Also, I'm about to hit 10th level. I'm switching up the cantrips. I'm probably thinking something like lightning lure and shocking grasp.

I recommend thorn whip over lightning lure. Thorn whip has more range (30ft) and doesn't have a save on the movement. Conversely Lightning lure can do more damage and has no size limit. I think in general thorn whip is superior unless you plan on fighting a lot of huge creatures with low strength.

Very good.

Because other characters can attack with them.

so what?
if someone wastes an action at 17th level to possibly do 4d6+5 damage, DMs everywhere would be very happy.

I think that would be pretty reasonable, but in that case I would have it only affect one stone at a time that only you can attack with.

no need. you're 17th level, you can give your own mooks some action to do. Still mostly useless.

Well, the title of the thread was in the punchline... tenuous, I know.
