Yes, but if he wants to know the total capacity he either has to charge and charge, or cast Analyze Magic?

BTW: A ST 4 wizard can recharge her staff, but not a powerstone (unless she Aids herself from her staff.)

Odd rule question:

Example: A wizard with ST 15 can only put 15 of her ST into one or more stones adding 3 points total or does this mean that the wizard can put 75 ST into each of a dozen stones, charging each up by 15 points? This makes a big difference in the question of taking those big beefy barbarians captive or slitting their throats.
