## Usage

### Experience

The arcane scepter can store and release [experience](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Experience) by using it. 
Each time it is used a base value of 7 experience is transferred from the player into the scepter.
In case the player does not have enough experience to transfer the scepter can discharge experience to the player.
The amount transferred when using the scepter is modified by the [insight](./insight) enchantment.

### Durability

Using the scepter costs 1 [durability](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Durability). 
When the item breaks it will release all stored experience as [orbs](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Experience#Experience_orbs) 
and be replaced by a [scepter](scepter), which can be crafted back into an arcane scepter. 
The [scepter](scepter) will keep the enchantments of the broken arcane scepter.

### Crafting Ingredient

The arcane scepter can be used to craft a [Bottle o' Enchanting](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Bottle_o%27_Enchanting) when it is charged using 7 experience that is stored.
