It recharges 1 point every six hours or 4 per day. A 4th edition wizard probaly has a ST 10 or ST 12 powerstone via Signature Gear. IF the entire adventure takes place in VHM zones the character will get a second full use of the stone in 2 1/2 to 3 days. Not very practical for adventuring purposes.

Now one that fully rechages after a day has practical uses in a lot of adventuring styles where the slow recharge is crippling. It's a couple of extra big spells a day, which is less 'unbalancing' than some folks seem to believe.
