Personal spells from scroll / wand on animal companion?


Rules Questions

Can I put personal spells on an animal companion from a wand/scroll?


Nope


As stated above spell trigger and spell completion items do not qualify for share spells.

That's what I thought but I don't play many magic characters so it's not as ingrained as other rules. Thanks.


Here are the rules for it:

Share Spells wrote:
The druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid may cast spells on her animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion's type (animal). Spells cast in this way must come from a class that grants an animal companion. This ability does not allow the animal to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

Items as Spells: Does using a potion, scroll, staff, or wand count as "casting a spell" for purposes of feats and special abilities like Augment Summoning, Spell Focus, an evoker's ability to do extra damage with evocation spells, bloodline abilities, and so on?

No. Unless they specifically state otherwise, feats and abilities that modify spells you cast only affect actual spellcasting, not using magic items that emulate spellcasting or work like spellcasting.

Same logic goes for using wands to recharge a Vibrant Purple Prism Ioun Stone, which I see a lot of people suggest on the forums.
