[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7944224, member: 53980"] No, but it does place it firmly in the purview of the DM. If you wish for a regular Pearl of Power IMC, I won't turn it down, though there could be unintended consequences. OTOH, if you wished for a 9th level PoP my response would literally be, "sorry, that's not a thing". IMO, a PoP that allows you to recharge a 5th level slot is the most powerful that should probably exist as a magic item. Hence, a PoP that allows you to recharge a 9th level slot falls somewhere between artifact and impossible. My reasoning for this is that spells above 5th level are heavily regulated in 5e, with abilities like Arcane Recovery written so as to not allow the recovery of such slots. Someone (I think in a different thread) distinguished spells below 6th level as being low magic while those above 5th level are high magic, and that really struck a chord with me. You can gain more low magic quite easily, but only the most powerful (epic) mages can acquire additional high magic (via the epic boon). This is why a custom PoP tops out at 5th as far as I am concerned. [/QUOTE]
