Hi,
Sorry for the newb question, but does anyone know what CL the wand of shocking grasp that the party finds in Erylium's meditation chamber has? Is it always the minimum possible (so 1d6 damage, I'd assume), or do you just pick whatever CL you feel like, or what?
Thanks!

It's minimum level for a 1st level spell: caster level 1st. Unless we specifically say in the text, yu can safely assume all scrolls, potions, and wands operate at the minimum possible caster level for the spell in question.
This has always been a question occasionally mentioned in my game, as the Craft Wand feat has a CL requirement of 5, does this mean that any wand created has a minimum CL of 5 as well?
Or is it judged that the CL5 Mage that created the wand only used CL1 versions of the spell to create?

No.

Yes.
I know that this would lead to the question 'why would the caster bother to create at a lower level?'. But I know that'll be to reduce cost, XP cost and crafting time, so no problem there...
Does 3.5 mention a caster being able to cast at a lower CL. Don't see why they couldn't, but don't remember seeing this mentioned anywhere...
