These items have the [invested](/Traits.aspx?ID=98) trait. Many invested items have constant abilities that function all the time or that always trigger when you use the item—but only when they're invested. If you don't have an item invested, these abilities don't work. If an invested item can be activated, you must have invested the item to activate it.\n\n You can benefit from no more than 10 invested magic items each day. Because this limit is fairly high, and because it matters only for worn items, you probably won't need to worry about reaching the limit until higher levels, when you've acquired many useful magic items to wear.\n\n You can still gain the mundane benefits of an item if you don't invest it. A suit of _+1 [resilient](/Equipment.aspx?ID=279) armor_ still gives you its item bonus to AC when not invested, but it doesn't give its magical bonus to saving throws, and [_winged boots_](/Equipment.aspx?ID=472) still protect your feet even though you can't activate them to fly.
