Magitech Personal Items

Magitech Charge and Discharge

Different from magical items that have a fixed number of charges and recharge them naturally with time, magitech items have a chance to lose charges called discharge.
Everytime you use an item with the discharge property, you roll the appropriate die. On a 1 the item discharges.
If the die rolled die was a d4, that means the item is depleted and can not be used until charged. With other dice, you lower the die for the next discharge roll
For example: if the item has a discharge value of d6, that means you roll 1d6. On a 1, the next time you roll for a discharge it will be with a d4
To charge the item, you must load it with the appropriate catalyst, which takes 1 minute. Loading it gives it a discharge d4, you can continue to add more catalyst to increase the discharge die, until it reaches the original value.
