"Curious, because an infusion takes longer than a spell to cast and going from the text of Baker's own novels it sems an infusion can be 'cast' into an item before being activated- is this how you handle them? And if so, how long can the infusion be 'held' before losing the infusion if it is not immediately activated?"

A player asked this of me and it's been a while since I devoured Keith's novel.  How would you answer this question?

My first immediate thought would be, "Well, are you sure the character in the novel wasn't just infusing a Spell Storing Item?"

Thats the only infusion I know of off the top of my head that can be held for later use.
