I have ab 18th lvl DDAL PC (V. Human Storm Sorcerer 17/Tempest Cleric 1).
I'm tinkering with my allotment of 10 permanent magic items. Does a Tome of Clear Thought and a Manual of Quick Action leave your inventory once you've used them? Or do they count as part of the PC while I still receive those benefits.
You can only benefit from a magic item that grants the same permanent benefit once (e.g., tome of understanding, bag of beans, etc.). This guidance is retroactive. Further, items that bestowed a persistent effect (such as a manual of golems, via wishes from luck blades, etc.) count against that character’s Magic Item Limit for as long as they retain the benefit—even if they don’t own the item or it has lost its magical properties. You can choose to replace or abandon the item as normal, but in so doing, the benefits it conveyed (resistance to damage, ability score increases, etc.) are lost.
Basically, the benefits granted by the tomes/manuals as well as certain other magic items count against you magic item limit even if the item is consumed or lost its magic. So if you want another magic item, you have to lose the +2 to ability.
