    How would you play wizard with a laser pointer (with no way to recharge when the battery ran out)?

      Like miracles I would do it in a few times only during my lifetime. The rest would be just me roleplaying/bullshitting my way to becoming a noble. Maybe along the way create a crude battery.

        If you’re lucky to have a laser with charging circuit and port for power you just need to build a generator. Still difficult from scratch but feasible

          As long as you have copper/lead/zinc and sulfur, you can make batteries to charge your stuff. The baghdad battery is several thousand years old.

        It seems like they need another dose of awe. I haven’t needed to do this in a few years.

        Button clicks softly. Button clicks softly. Button clicks softly several times…

        Ummm, what’s going on here? It should have plebtky of juice left. I haven’t used it in ages!

        Metal grinding on metal.

        Shit… The battery is corroded!
