Meditation Crystals (Adventurer's Armory)

It's a Holy Symbol that basically allows you to convert Channel Energy uses into Lay on Hands uses (1-to-1). 'Charging' it takes a Standard Action (same as Channeling), but getting the Lay on Hands out takes 1 minute of meditation (no actions). So obviously not an "in combat" item. Recommend converting any extra Channels at the end of day into the Crystal, and then recharging your Lay on Hands throughout the next day.
Little fuzzy on if one Crystal can hold multiple charges, but these things are dirt cheap (100gp) anyway.

Bolding is mine.

I did a search to see if I could logic it out, or even just find an outright answer, and was mostly unsuccessful.

My feel is that, with that price, it's likely a one charge thing.

Buuuuut, if I don't ask, I'll always wonder what could have been.

So, does anyone know? Preferably with links?

If no one does, I'll be presenting it to my GM as a One charge thing.

The Exchange

It's in the description of channel foci and the specific item. All the channel foci in Adventurer's Armory are on/off items. You "activate" them by channeling energy into them. It doesn't matter how many times you channel, they are either activated or deactivated.

Quote:
Once activated, the crystal retains its energy until a monk or paladin uses it for this purpose or 24 hours pass.

So the answer is one charge at a time.

Thank you! That was fast, and you explained it well! :D
