Hello all,
I am having trouble finding an exact ruling on how magic items work with "one use only" in the 8th edition rulebook.
Normally, a magic item has a single ability paired with this rule, and logic would state that after you use that ability, the magic item is not destroyed, but cannot be used any more.
There is now a magic item (Charmed Shield) in the rulebook item list that can be used by any army. This shield also says "one use only." This could be taken a number of ways.
Shield can be used once before becoming uesless.
Shield abilty can be used once, and then the shield becomes useless.
Shield abilty can be used once, shield still confers armor save for rest of game.
The only ruling direction I can find would be the lack of a rule alltogether, being that it does not state anywhere that a magic item is destroyed after it is used once. Most magic items are just treated this way, because they usually don't have anything else they can do. This leads me to believe that it would still confer an armor save after the ability was used once.
If anyone can clarify, either having used this item in a tournament, or knows the location of a offical faq, or found a rule I couldn't in the massive weapon with paper pages that is the rulebook.
Thanks
