There are no good words for this, but you made a small mistake. A long lasting mistake, though, made by not making that little commitment. This is an ossified reminder of your failure to give when giving mattered.
Benefit: Each [Encounter] you successfully complete without falling [Dead] imbues this item with a charge, to a maximum of your character level. You also gain five of these charges at the beginning of each [Quest]. You gain a bonus to your maximum hit points equal to the number of charges you currently have. Once per [Scene], as a swift action, you may spend five charges and a swift action to temporarily weaken the items of a single creature in [Medium] range. For the next two [Rounds], any item bonuses granted by those items are halved except for bonuses to ability scores.
