Why does Jafaki have a wand of magic missiles heightened to 2nd-level? As well all know Magic Missile is a 1st level spell and it requires heightening by 2 levels to get the next iteration, so 3rd to get 2 missiles per action. As far as I can tell it shouldn't do anything more than a 1st level wand apart from be more expensive.
Maybe as a 5th level item it could be a wand of manifold missiles (1st).
What's the intention here, any ideas anyone?
It would affect counterspell / counteract checks. Not great I agree but does do 'something'.
