I mean, imagine a story where the hero is told, "Beware the witch's wand! The wand is the source of her power. With it she can shoot a line of frost maybe, I don't know, three or five times, and then it's dead." or "The evil wizard is invincible as long as he has that staff, and as long as he doesn't use it too often. Unfortunately, we only have 49 men in the royal army and we're pretty sure he's got at least fifty charges in the thing."
Oh, how we are laughing. Doctorate of "Sweet Fanny Adams" indeed!
