Is there some errata for the beacon somewhere? The move “no powers and not nearly enough training” lets you fill the blank with some tech you picked up if it’s empty, but there is no way to clear it out. And you only get the benefit the first time you use it. My guess would be you can ditch the item after you used it and pick up a new item.

Yup. Use pencil.
Yeah, it’s one-shot. I don’t really get why you write it down
ditching the item before picking up another one has always been understanding, or perhaps the item has a limited lifespan and should be rubbed out when it makes sense. I’d follow the fiction on this one.
I really like this move, because it allows the Beacon to escalate it power: “They said I had no powers and not nearly enough training, but that was before I picked up King Monkey’s Magic Wishing Staff”
You can also take it away as part of a move.
I played a Beacon who was a gadgeteer a la McGyver. I used the Move as a way to do stunts like “I build a flamethrower using a hair dryer and lighter fluid”.
Whatever he put together had a one-time use, and if he flubbed the roll, that meant the device failed spectacularly and usually explosively. 🙂
