D&D 3E/3.5 Wands in 3.5
How about this as a house rule: You can only recharge items that you yourself have created.
Gives you a little extra benefit for spending the feat, without creating a new feat or making it freely available to everyone.
If that is still too good, say that when recharging your own items you don't get the 50% discount that you did when creating it.

You're right on Pyrex. Thanks for clarifying my statements.Pyrex said:

The Iron Kingdoms Character Guide has some interesting rules for Mechanikal wands. They carry fewer charges (around 10 if I recall properly), but can be recharged. They are also both cheaper and heavier than a standard wand, containing a receptacle for the material components of the spell inside the wand. Kind of a tossup between which is better, since both Mechanikal and standard wands are available in the setting. (Though creating magic items with a high XP cost runs the risk of permanently losing hit points, the lower cost plays in favor of the Mechanikal wand in this case, fewer HP at risk...)
*EDIT* Hand Cannon #5 has a summary of the rules for creating Mechanikal items.

IMO:
Depending on the type of campaign you are in, I suppose recharging would depend on whether it is a hi magic or low magic world.
As a DM I would rule that recharging would caost less than a new wand. Also recharging would have to have charges remaining in the wand or else all the magic is expended and the item is no longeruseful as a magic wand/ staff.

But, that's wrong. When you create that wand initially, it costs you 375gp and 30xp. By making it cheaper to recharge, you're making things a lot worse, not better.Pyrex said:
