Using a magic item to cast a spell is its own unique action type. Jeremy Crawford has said via Twitter that casting spells from magic items (scrolls, wands, staves, etcetera) is neither a Use an Object/Item nor a Cast a Spell action.
Does a Necklace of fireballs recharge?
After using a purchased Necklace of Fireballs with 8 initial rounds, it was great as it allowed my non Magic fighter to be able to cast an offensive area effect blast. I had assumed that the device would recharge with resting. However, after rest, it didn’t reload itself at all.
Can you counter a spell from an item?
Counterspell requires you to see a creature casting a spell. In order for a spell to be counterspelled there has to be something visible to tell they are casting. As RoSS (and most other magic items that cast spells) do away with all the components there’s nothing to see so you can’t counter it.
How does necklace of fireballs work?
This necklace has 1d6 + 3 beads hanging from it. You can use an action to detach a bead and throw it up to 60 feet away. When it reaches the end of its trajectory, the bead detonates as a 3rd-level Fireball spell (save DC 15).

Counterspell is a spell, so it can be countered. #DnD Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 28, 2017 @JeremyECrawford surely if it’s a spell duel, the action economy kicks in?
Can you counter spell a scroll?
If the spell is on your class’s spell list, you can use an action to read the scroll and cast the spell without having to provide any of the spell’s components. Thus, if someone is visibly casting a spell from a scroll within 60 feet of a counterspelling wizard, the spell from the scroll can be countered.

Can you cast two spells with a necklace?
You can’t cast 2 spells in one turn, regardless of metamagic or action surge, BUT the necklace doesn’t make you cast a spell – it just reproduces a spell (as opposed to, say, Wand of Fireballs, which indeed makes you actually cast a spell). Anybody with Action Surge can simply use 2 actions to throw 2 beads, effectively hurling 2 fireballs.
What happens when you hurl a bead of fireballs?
When it reaches the end of its trajectory, the bead detonates as a 3rd-level Fireball spell (save DC 15). You can hurl multiple beads, or even the whole necklace, as one action. When you do so, increase the level of the Fireball by 1 for each bead beyond the first.
How many fireballs can you cast in one turn?
You can cast 3 fireballs in a single turn if you multiclass and combine Quicken Spell + Action Surge by using a Bonus Action to cast quickened Fireball, and then Action + Action Surge to toss 2 beads from the necklace. I hereby bestow you with this knowledge, and do with it what you will, my lovely min-maxer brethren.
