Drain Item

4-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Touch

Components: Verbal, Somatic

Duration: Instant

Attack/Save: Melee Spell Attack

Damage/Effect: Control

You touch a magic item and cause its magical energies to drain away. If the item is currently carried or held by another creature, you must make a melee spell attack to touch the item, against the wielder’s AC. On a hit, the item loses 1d3 charges. If this reduction drops the item’s charges to 0, any effects that occur when the item loses all its charges immediately take effect.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can drain more charges from an item: 1d4 for a 5th-level slot, 1d6 for a 6th-level slot, 1d8 for a 7th-level slot, or 2d6 for an 8th- or 9th-level slot.
