Magic Stone creates three 1d6+1 pebbles. Can you throw all 3 at once?

Magic stone creates three pebbles, each doing 1d6+1 dam. Can you take a handful of three Magic Stones and chuck them all at an opponent?

Spell description:
"The character transmutes up to three pebbles, which can be no larger than sling bullets, so that they strike with great force when thrown or slung. If hurled, they have a range increment of 20 feet. If slung, treat them as sling bullets (range increment 50 feet). The spell gives them a +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls. The creature using the stones makes a normal ranged attack to use a magic stone. Each magic stone that hits deals 1d6+1 points of damage (including the enhancement bonus). Against undead creatures, this damage is doubled (2d6+2 points)."

If you could throw them like shuriken, the spell would say that. So I treat them as any other ranged weapon, one per attack.

In fact, I would point to the sentence "the creature using the stones makes a normal ranged attack to use a magic stone" as specifically indicating that ... well, that the creature using the stones makes a normal ranged attack to use a magic stone. One attack, one stone. And not, for example, that he can huck all three at once.

Yeah, the good doctors are right. Throwing three pebbles at once is certainly possible in the real world, but the game rules do not explicitly permit it. Therefore it's up to the individual DM.

Thanks for the replies.

I allowed it last night and came here to get other opinions. I felt certain I had a mistake when I thought about it later. For me it just seems that if all three can thrown at once its overpowered for level 1 spell.
