A couple fusion questions

[Ragnarokr]

I'm observing some behavior I don't understand with a particular fusion orb - I'm hoping someone can offer some insight on this. First, trying to get the orb recharged at the Adventurer's Guild:


Helswrite takes your orb and peers at it through a large green crystal lens. He hands it back, saying, "Sorry, Lymentria, I can't recharge this."

What gives? Are there additional restrictions on recharging that I don't know about? I was able to get my other orb recharged without issue. Also, when trying to insert the same orb into a fusion runestaff:


A lor runestaff glows brightly as you try to slip a rose-marked cardinal red orb into it, the residual power preventing you from inserting the orb into one of the runestaff's gem chambers.

Is this because the orb isn't charged, or some other reason? Any guidance would be appreciated.

You don't charge up the orb but the item once the orbed is inserted. Also, try EXHALEing on your item to clear any other orb charges it may have, before placing that one in there. After that, you can charge up the item at the guild.

That worked, thank you!
