Hey all so im playing an Arcane Sorc in a homebrew game. We are currently level 15 and i've just come across a large sum of gold and was thinking of getting the Robes of Arcane Heritage. Doing so would put my effective level to 19, which grants me the 17th level bonus. would i have to take that power RIGHT then and more or less waste it on lower then 8th level spells? what if i took the robe off, would those spells be "gone" from my memory?
Also The 20th level power says that you can expend 3 spell slots to use any item that relies on charges without using one. What all does that entail? Just wands and staves? Would an item such as bracers with shield 1/day be unusable with this power? what about a Rod of Metamagic, as they have 3 charges per day? Its abit confusing for me for some reason, and any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Woops didnt mean to post this in Advice! sorry!

A) Getting it earlier, would force you to pick a lower level spell. However it, would be unreasonable to allow you to wait a lvl until you can cast lvl 8 spells..
B) If you take the robe off, you loose the spell known, since you loose the class feature.
C) While it doesn't directly state it, I'd rule that once chosen the spell cannot be changed, whether or not the class feature come from the robe or your actual level.

There is a difference between uses/day and charges. Wands and Staves are the only items with charges (and probably some custom ones).
The text is definately confusing, especially as the magic item creation rules talk about "charges per day". So I can only offer you my interpretation, not some cut-in-stone rules text.
Ah Alright Thanks for the help!
