A faerie Dragon cannot use a staff since it is a spell trigger/activated device. A subset of familiars can use a wand but that is the ONLY spell trigger item they can use. This is per Mike Brock's ruling on 8/10/2013

As far as I am reading, this might even allow an arcane spellcaster to use an orison or a divine spellcaster to use a cantrip.

It won't. This only allows you to add a spell you could already add to your spells known or memorized.

This will not add spells not already available to you.

I do not believe that is the case. The creator of the Ioun stone needs to know the spell to create the item. However, ioun stones are wondrous magic items and any character can use a wondrous item unless it specifies otherwise (per the CRB). Now, you have to be able to cast spells since it adds to your existing list only without granting you spell-casting ability(thus a fighter cannot use it but it does not mandate that it appear on your spell list)

There has been some discussion of this before but no definitive FAQ that I can recall.


Since time between scenarios is indeterminate and failure is not fatal, it would seem like one could get the stones implanted by doing it yourself (assuming you have the bonuses to have a theoretical chance)


Conundrum. You would have to get both since the witch familiar is integral to the class.
