[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5182488, member: 2011"] I think Draco's line of reasoning here is not only reasonable, but the game becomes chaotic and messy to adjudicate if one does not do so. Consider the following rules: If one is using Flaming Sphere more than once per day, on the round it is cast and on subsequent rounds, isn't it violating this useage rule? On the other hand, if the power is only used when it is first used and subsequent effects and modifications of the power are not considered useages, then these rules are not violated. Getting back to the Orb vs. Staff issue, if useage is only considered the first useage of the power, than the Implement used with that power would be the one for all effects of the power, regardless of when those effects occur, regardless of on whom those effects occur, etc. Wouldn't it? The entire power section and attack section and magic item section all specify enhancement modifiers "when the power is used". It only becomes an issue if one considers useage to be the entire duration of the power. To avoid the issue, one just needs to avoid that interpretation. [/QUOTE]
