Hows does this work?

"Wearer casts his spells at +4 caster level. Effect lasts ten minutes"
"Each bead can be used once per day."

Does it mean . . .

the effects of the +4 caster level lasts 10 minutes

or

I have ten minutes in which to cast a whack of spells at a +4 caster level
(but once cast their "new" durations and effects last according to the imporved caster level . . .)

First you have to make a list, then get a bad barnet and weasel on your lip. Finally get everyone to call you Earl.

Once per day you can activate the bead. Once you do, all your spells are cast as though they had +4 caster level (Duration, beating SR, spell effects, etc).

If a spell lasts longer then the 10 minutes then it keeps the +4 caster level, same as if a 6th level caster were to use Mage Armor on his monk friend and then get hit with an Enervation and take 4 negative levels. The Mage Armor effect isn't changed at all, it'll still last a full 6 hours.
