[pnpgm] Delay. Questions to be asked..

<Read Amulets on page 31 of original book 4. Since most passive items 
are related to amulets its likely that those 'rules' apply. In effect 
they tell the GM to put restrictions on item uses as needed to limit 
them. Most GMs do not go beyond the 'must be worn and exposed to 
function' except for those things which need extra ingredients like 
making potions. Some add daily limits if the power is too useful and not 
otherwise limited, like making cures by dipping into water. As written 
that could be seen as infinite amount of cure potions or it could be 
just one? If the potion made has a limited life then its more self 
limiting, but most do not say they expire. In the case of the Angelica 
Potion, normally it has no 'shelf life' but it is a little more costly 
to make. And of course any stored potion can be ruined with ease by 
breakage.>

<There may be other related rules in that section. Sadly permanent 
magics never was detailed to the level it needed for easy use by the GM 
or players. As a result all worlds differ in how the GM regulates such 
things. This is literally the Magic Economy of the World and determines 
just how common magical items are. In this case our GM has a more 
relaxed limit system and thus magic is more common. He limits it in 
other ways by use of 'balance', a quite effective method and a warning 
to everyone around those with lots of magic. When I have GMed I used a 
similar method for those characters who had better 'events' as obviously 
that meant the Gods had taken some interest in that person. So the more 
powerful the character the more likely some diety had things they wanted 
done by them and thus some other dieties may want to prevent it.>
