So, they can keep it charged indefinitely, until they target a Heretic, 
then
can never use it again? What?
The first time you use it is fine. After that, you can't use it unless you 
zap a Heretic first. So you get to use it every time you beat up a 
nonbeliever.
I believe bd's issue is this:  Is it
"and if e has either {{never used this ability}} or {{or targeted a Heretic with a Force Ability since the last time e used this ability}}."
or is it
"and if e has either never {{used this ability}} or {{or targeted a Heretic with a Force Ability since the last time e used this ability}}."
With how long the whole sentence is, it isn't quite clear to just what part 
of the sentence the "never" applies.  I know what is intended, and that what 
is intended is what it actually means if you study the sentence a bit, but 
it certainly could stand to be clearer.
