Some time ago a saw an item similar to the pearl of power, but for spontaneous spellcaster, it was in a socerer thread. I'm not able to find it again and i'm not finding any related information so:
Are there some magic item for sorcerer similar to the pearl of power? If so where?
Thanks in advice for any help.
Runestone of Power Did not know about these myself. Learned something new today. =)
Awesome, thanks for the info :)

Thank you! :)
The reason is that these do not use up your standard actions. You cast Fireball and if you have a Runestone of Power III, you cause the runestone to be used up for the day. You don't have to spend a standard action to get it back.
D&D 3.5 had an item called a Memento Magica, which is basically a Pearl of Power adapted for spontaneous casters. As I recall, it cost only slightly more than a Pearl of Power did, but it did not give you the spell slot back -- it just let you recast a given spell once per day.
Still, I will have to take a look at that Runestone of Power -- it may be the intended replacement for the Memento Magica, if Paizo published it. I will have to take a look at that when I can access the d20pfsrd.com site.
But why does it cost twice as much as a Pearl of Power? They both restore a used spell slot.
Because spontaneous casters aren't supposed to get nice things.
;)
Actually, it looks as though the Memento Magica and the Runestone of Power function the same, at least according to the Magic Item Compendium (I think one of the earlier books statted the former item out a bit differently). The Runestone of Power costs more because getting a free spell slot back is better than re-preparing a previously cast spell.
And because spontaneous caster can't have nice things :-)
and personal I like runestone of power better than Memento Magica - but that's mostly because i think it easier to write/spell...

Erm, Runestone of Power is better than the pearl of power. Pearl of Power just reprepares a spell you've already cast. RoP effectively lets you cast *any* of your spells one additional time.

I was not aware of this, but thanks Cheapy. Standard action to use a command word item.
