I am looking for a way to UMD a wand of shield without using up a standard action if I can. So I am wondering if there are any good ways out there to go about this. Can I pay extra to apply a metamagic feat? Maybe there is another item of feat I can use in conjunction? The best I have found is a rather pricey rod that allows me to slot wands to use simultaniously...but it burns up charges pretty fast. For one standard I could fire up Shield, Mirror Image and Flame Blade, but it burns up 3 charges from each. I would rather find a way to fast cast the Shield on the cheap if I can.
