This isn't exactly an item transfer, it's a way to dupe items between characters, since the first character still has the item on the ground in their saved game. If you wish to play ethically, you'll leave it there, or drop it elsewhere in the dungeon once your second character gets their copy if it.
The Cornerstone is a way to transfer items, but it's not exactly convenient. After all, a character creating a new game has to get to the Cornerstone for the item to be there. (Joining a saved game won't work.) And to get to the top level of the Crypt, a character has to get the rune bomb, blow up the hive entrance, work through four levels of the hive, find the Defiler, get the cathedral map, portal back to town, walk to the cemetery, and then search the first level of the Crypt for the Worldstone room. Perhaps Sierra though this was a way to balance the item transfer/dupe option tey they were offering .
==Cornerstone Lore==
:''The stone was of this world - and of all worlds - as the light is both within things and beyond all things. Light and unity are the products of this holy foundation, a unity of purpose and a unity of posession.
Interesting (or not) as you find this message and the other writings in the crypt, it and all the other plot and [[story|lore]] in Hellfire has to be considered non-canon, since the Blizzard North D1 and future D2 team were not directly involved in the production of Hellfire, except to veto various features they thought were too similar to what they were planning for Diablo II.
