Once fired or activated, the weapon or device requires time and effort to make it ready to use again.

You cannot use the weapon or device to make Attacks or activate any of its abilities until you have performed the listed number of Reload actions to reload it; for example, if an ability granted by a device is listed as Reloading 3, you must perform the Reload action three (3) times before you can use that device again.

You do not have to perform all of these actions on the same turn.

If an item has a Reloading value of 0, such as a Shortbow or the Aetherlight Beam (Repeater) ability, then reloading it only requires a Free Action but still follows the same rules as the normal Reload action.
