Non-Galvanic Bracelets

The Non-Galvanic bracelets have a problem: What feasible way could they be bottlenecked to prevent abuse or overuse, but also allow them to be available when needed? I have a two ideas right now: One "hard", one "soft". Any possible expansions or addendum can be placed below. Signatures not needed, but appreciated. Also, critiques. This is bound to be a long process, and getting bad ideas out of the way sooner leads to smoother roads. - Dune

  • The "Hard" Idea: The Non-Galvanic bracelets are tied to an outside force to draw energy from. Either as the "luminous aether" variety or "ley line" variety, this would mean that only a limited number can be created in one space before the "energy" is drained. I, however, am loath to even suggest that a Legendary could be tied to them.
  • The "Soft" Idea: Galvani discovers a "United Shenanigans Theorem" that states that too many shenanigans, such as her NG bracelets, can lead to the devaluing of humor and the collapse of society. Thus, Galvani would outright deny making any NG bracelets that she believes would put the "World shenanigan balance" at risk. A very "meta", but also somewhat in-character reason for the creation of them to be limited.

Galvanic Bracelets Glitches: Inconvenient or Impossible?

Should the glitches of the true Galvanic bracelets be irritating but rarely obstructive, annoyances that make them somewhat frustrating, or full-blown obstacles that require planning? Since bracelets can't be used by more than one person, to what extent should the person with the bracelet be restricted in its use? Should there be a blanket difficulty, or should it be on a case-by-case basis? Should, with enough time, these glitches be worked out or possibly replaced?
