So ... this just happened:
You concentrate on your staff...
The sigla on your Staff of Druids glow softly, shedding an eerie bright red
light.
You trace fiery blue sigla on your Staff of Druids Charge staff
A bright flash of energy erupts from the Staff of Druids and you sense the
power draining away from it.
You concentrate on your staff...
The sigla on your Staff of Druids glow softly, shedding an eerie red light.
...
Could we please not have the staff lose half of its charge if you accidentally
overcharge it? Charging the damn thing takes several dozens of casts, it's
just silly to lose half of it if you accidentally cast the spell one too many
times.

Getting back to this 10 years old post.

I just overcharged the staff yesterday after my reinc and I hope there is an
easy fix for this workwise, because this is way too annoying.

It was probably a great idea pre 2000?s when players had presumably more time
on their hands and their children were not behind their back saying: ?That
game seems so lame! You?re just sitting there and pressing enter now and
then. We really can?t understand why you say it?s the best game there is,
boomer dad!? and then comes the wife: ? You need you to cut down the apple
tree in 1 hour like we agreed, before some birds nest in the birdhouse like
last year!.?
My answer: "I just overcharged my druid staff and I need to press the enter
here until it glows bright red, but maybe I?ll just forget about it and do it
in the next couple of days..?

I?m not entirely sure, do I forget the tree or the staff i n this scenario I?m
living, but If I forget the tree, I might skips doing all the work until bird
nesting is complete, so that gives me time to charge the staff until fall. I
should have read the surgeon general warning better. I might get divorced
because of my druid staff

Jokes aside:
My idea is just to remove the cap away and let us recharge it more than now. A
way more. Could even have a new uptuned fiery glow that means it?s full power
and stays that way hopefully until the next boot even with heavier sessions. I
know it?s an uptune and maybe too big one, but I?m still asking for it!

PS. Seems like special characters dont work, but what the hell.. Ill let it
slide!
