Each point of vis creates large amounts of corruption in your soul. It's best not to rely on its recharge abilities too greatly...

As long as the rod is empty, it will try to fill itself using LP from its owner's network. If there are not enough Life Points to fuel it, it will resort to drawing health from whoever is carrying it, but this conversion is less efficient. If it has no LP to draw from and its holder falls below three hearts, the wand stops charging itself.
