With but a touch you drain a pool of XP from a magic item and retain it for the purpose of casting spells that have an XP component. The XP gained from draining a magic item through this spell are not counted toward attaining a new level. Each casting drains from a single magic item the amount of XP it took to create the item, rendering the item nonmagical.
You may draw from this pool whenever casting a spell that has an XP component, paying any leftover cost yourself. For example, if you touch a fully-charged wand of lightning bolt you drain 450 XP, or 9 XP (450 ÷ 50) per charge, with which to cast a spell such as limited wish. Drained XP is retained for 10 minutes per caster level; any points not spent when the spell's duration expires are wasted.
An item in a creature's possession uses its own Will save bonus or its possessor's Will save bonus, whichever is higher.
This spell does not work on artifacts.
