Again this is obvious. <br>
But can use the 80 item for hour 1<br>
then in hour 2 the 50 assuming daily limits.<br>
thus could get the 130. This is why I was asking others how they
dealt with it.<br><br>

used at the time. The only way to get 130 would be to use them both at
once. If it isn't being used,it isn't adding to casting ability.<br><br>
Once you've overcast by 50 in a day, the wand won't help anymore,so
there's no point in using it, just the staff. <br><br>

<dd>Use both,sure. But track how much you've exceeded your casting
ability by (for Feature A). Multiple items don't add, they allow a fixed
amount of excess casting. If you've already exceeded that level, you need
a stronger item. Higher level, or staff over wand. Or both.<br>
</dd><dd>You can only use one at a time, f course, so Feature B, boosting
success chances, is limited to whatever you have at hand, and can be used
as long as you can still cast.<br>
</dd><dd>Feature C, if it applies, lets you change between what you have for
any item spell you have that you can't cast yourself...again, assuming
Feature A still works for you.<br>
</dd><dd>And, of course, the smart Enchanter adds a Mana Storage Ensorcellment
to all his favorite staves and wands, so you can swap between them to tap
stored mana as needed, but, again, you can only use one at a time, so if
yo've exhausted Feature A(Overcasting) you may not have enough stored
mana in any one items for what you want to do. Use those before tapping
into overcast from Feature A, just in case. First, just so the wand or
staff can start recharging on it's own.<br>
</dd><dd>That's how I've always used them as player or GM.<br>
