how do you recharge a magic item, such as a magic missile wand?

[Lord Shaene]

In 3rd edition i see alot of stuff on how to create an item, but havent found any information about recharging a magic item. in my particular case a wand of magic missile, does anyone know the process needed to recharge such an item?

[Mark_Aurel]

It's not possible to recharge items under 3e rules - it was, at one point, but it was apparently subject to abuse.

[Lord Shaene]

when was this done? was it prior to its 3E release? do you have any references pertaining to this?

Everything is subject to abuse. Its the nature of humanity. ¦¬]

Or inhumanity depending on the abuse.

I believe that Lord Shaene asks the question because he is feeling abused by his GM who says that he can't currently do it. He is also starting to act a bit like some players who have since left the group because he can't do whatever he wants or he doesn't believe that certain things can happen in his domain.

My point exactly!

Please forgive me, I am not worthy, I have succumbed to being like a former group member no longer with us. I am the black sheep, the third wheel, the cancer of the party.
I should never ever disagree with the GM and i have. The GM is always right and I am always wrong. he is intelligent and I am an idiot. he is the best role player, i am the worst.

Ah Shaene has come to his senses and admitted his short-comings. Finally. However, the list I have of his short-comings is conisderably longer. :P
