Vic, I assume that's official stuff being quoted? We need to provide the proper references, if it is -- source and page number.  |

There were no official rules for recharging a wand, perhaps a splat book has some now.
Basically it appeared it was as easy to make a new wand, then recarge an existing one. |
"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

I'd go with the rules in the old 2E Volo's Guide to All Things Magical (formerly a suppressed work  , now available for free on the Wizards downloads page), myself.
I don't see game balance being affected by recharging wands, the way they apparently did. And I think the rules referred to above, while workable, make recharging rather pointless, as opposed to creating a new one.
Of course, I've been unhappy with the changes to magical items since 3E came out. Maybe 4E will improve how magic items are handled... |

| I'm probably a bit late to join this conversation, but doesn't the 3e FRCS have a magic item (some kind of stone, maybe) that pretty much exists to recharge other magic items? Can't remember the name, but I think they might be minor artifacts. I'll check when I get home if I remember to... |
