Wands
Note! This is Sebai legacy content for Dungeons and Dragons 5e and is no longer applicable to our Pathfinder 2e game. I simply keep it around in case I ever run 5e again. Refer to Archives of Nethys for relevant wand stats.
Short, slender items typically made of wood, wands let you cast a specific spell without expending a spell slot. They can be used once per day, but can be overcharged to attempt to cast them again at great risk. Each wand holds a spell of a certain level, determined when the wand is created.
To cast a spell from a wand, it must be on your spell list. Because you’re the one casting the spell, use your spell attack roll and spell DC.
Spells with a material component must be used during the creation of the wand. Spells with a consumed material cost, however, can’t be placed in wands. For example, clairvoyance could be placed in a wand as it requires a jeweled horn worth 100 gp that is not consumed by the spell. Revivify, however, cannot be placed into a wand as it requires a diamond worth 300 gp, which the spell consumes.
Overcharging a Wand. After the spell is cast from the wand for the day, you can cast it one more time—overcharging the wand at the risk of destroying it. Cast the spell again, then roll a DC 10 flat check. On a success, the spell is cast as normal. On a failure, the wand is destroyed. If anyone tries to overcharge a wand when it's already been overcharged that day, the wand is automatically destroyed and no spell is cast.
All magic wands require wand attunment. Like normal attunement, you can only have a max of three wands attuned at a time; however, these slots are separate from normal attunement meaning you can be attuned to both three magic items and three wands at the same time.
