This also presumes adepts automatically know how many charges they're
holding.  The bodybag in question might not know the gun was unloaded until
his spell failed.  Or, even then, he wouldn't know it wasn't just a simple
failure.

The rules don't say one way or t'other.  You could play it that while a
PLAYER knows how many charges a character has, the character herself does
not...

A real busybody GM could do secret charges along with secret damage --
though, damn, what a hassle.
