make an anchored spell and add an activation link. This way you can make
a wand of magic missile that shoots your favourite bolt spell for
something like 7 karma, for a force 6 bolt. The only problem/good thing is
that they can be easily recharged (and have multiple charges, I think).
You could make something like the goode olde healing potion of @#&%. Use
a force 6 (or whatever) Heal, an activation link, a spell link (detect
flesh), put it on a bottle of some kind and presto, you have a potion
that heals you when the bottle touches your lip (add some vile
foultasting fluid for extra drama). The spell link is optional, but more
fun. If you really want a one shot magic items, enchant the fluid in the
bottle instead. That way the potential recharging mage, would have to
sift through the subjects bodily wastes and . . . You get the idea:)

I think I read somewhere (The Grimmy, perhaps) that barriers recharge by
one point per hour, just like spirits
