Homunculus and Wand Usage: Please FAQ

[Eponine Lokrien Savet]

Those Improved Familiars with a hands slot, the ability to speak, and the requisite intelligence score can use wands.

In general, a Homunculus lacks the ability to speak.

In the Alchemy Manual, you can purchase (for 500g) the ability to speak for your Homunculus improved familiar.

The ability is permanent and irrevocable.

Question:
Can an Improved Familiar that is created, permanently, with all the requisite abilities necessary to use a wand, e.g. a Homunculus created with the Voice ability found in the Alchemy Manual, use wands even though its base form cannot?

[Dafydd]

As far as I can tell, a Homunculus with the speech ability can use wands.

[Mathwei ap Niall]

Irrelevant. ALL familiars are automatically granted the ability to speak at 5th level so the voice ability is only needed if you want your familiar to carry on a conversation with others.
