luminos:
thats a very cool character. I'm not sure how I feel about using a warden sword's enchanted item mechanics as an item of power. I think if you are doing it that way, it should cost more than -1 refresh.
Deadmanwalking:
Well, it's effectively a level of Refiement in a sword, so it works out fairly well.
I'm more thinking that any Warden needs at least Ritual if not full on Thaumaturgy to have passed the White Council's Wizard trials.

You are correct, I built that -1 refresh with 1 level of Refinement to buy 4 enchanted items slots.
2 for the Warden's Sword and 2 for extra uses. Though now that I do the math, it would be Base 3 uses (2 EI slots) + 2 X 2 extra uses(2 additional uses per enchanted item slot) = 7 uses/session. But only the dispel effect because of Sharp. Sharp is meant to represent the fact it's the Fracking Vorpal Sword. Sharp's effects are comparable to a Stunt. And I specify, only when cutting.

That's the thing, he hasn't passed the trials yet. He is only a Warden on paper. He is still technically an apprentice.
Why is that? He is a damn good Evocator, military school made him easy to train for Fire discipline(military speaking, not magic fire) and for the war they need everyone they can get. Yes, he can't put up Wards or use divinations or anything like that yet, but he has mighty magical thews.
Plus, the practical reason for that is because the game I designed him for is only Refresh 8. At refresh 10 he gets Thaumaturgy for a total of -9, making him a full Wizard/Warden.

Don't forget that you can use an enchanted item an extra time per session for the low cost of 1 mental stress.
So at some point, it might not be worth having 7 uses.
