It's probably premature to try and get an appraisal on this, what I'd like more is some help. I'm thinking that there is either something wrong, or there is a way to recharge this thing some other way.

It has an interesting loresong, that basically says that you have to figure out what it does yourself

~~~ As you sing, your vision clouds over and a scene unfolds for you. A pair of hands, weathered and wrinkled with age tirelessly polishing a large, perfect sapphire.

As you continue to sing, your field of view widens. An ancient dwarf works on the sapphire, chanting in a deep rumble while polishing it. As he continues his chant the sapphire begins to shine with an inner light, as if it were absorbing power.

As you continue to sing, you see the dwarven craftmaster place the sapphire aside long enough to pick up a finely wrought chisel of adamantine. Carefully, he begins to carve it into a circular shape. As he completes the work the sapphire flares with a brilliant light which fades to a faint glow.

You sense that the bracelet is of a time long past. The power contained within sings to you of ancient magic and hidden knowledge. The nature of the power hidden within is such that you are unable to learn the manner in which it will manifest itself. It would appear the only way to find out more would be to call forth the power within. ~~~


When you rub it it smacks you in the head with some mana, it gives you 90 mana over the course of 3 rubs

You feel a surge of power through your body as a beam of multi-colored light strikes your forehead from the sapphire bracelet.

The problem is that after you use it, it goes cold, I've been waiting for it to recharge, but it's been 4 days so far and that seems awfully long for something like this. I know that it eventually recharges, but I've never investigated it fully. Does anyone have any ideas I could try? It's a very old item if that lends any clues.

Thanks!

Have you casted any spells at it, to store mana within it?

I've owned one of these in Plat for several years. The bracelet stores 500 mana to begin with, and rubbing it will give you a random number of mana. Once you use it up, it takes 10 days to recharge.
