Does anyone know what point buy Paizo recommends for starting Golrarion characters? What point buy do you use for your Golarion game?

I think the 20 point build is the best of both worlds. Not to weak while also not being overly powered.

Excluding the Use Magic Devise skill, who can use a wand of cure light wounds & magic missile? In Pathfinder rules Wands are described as a spell trigger device, which our gaming group has assumed it needs a spell caster to activate. However we can't find the page number and as it stands we have a home rule that if it's not in your spell list you can't use the wand of (insert spell).

Ex. Could a 10th Level Wizard use a Wand of Cure Light Wounds?
Ex. Could a 10th Level Cleric use a Wand of Magic Missile?

Do you have to have the spell in your list to use the wand?
Do you have to be either an Arcane or Divine caster?

Please site the page or official ruling.

This is a point of contention for my group, half agree & half don't. We could use some help.

If you are a 3rd level Mage or higher and have cast Flaming Sphere can you move the sphere (move action) and still cast a spell? If no, can you choose not to move the sphere and cast a spell?
A buddy and I don’t see eye to eye on this. I think you could still cast spells, (casting time permitting) he says no other spells can be cast while this spell is in effect. I say Flaming Sphere has no concentration requirement in its duration descriptor.
So, in short who is right?

Does this spell cost 1 spell slot for all when first learning? Or is it 1 new spell slot per Protection?

Example #1
Protection from Chaos/Evil/Good/Law. new spell 1 slot.

At time of casting you choose which you want.

or

Example #2
Protection from Chaos. new spell 1 slot
Protection from Evil. new spell 1 slot
Protection from Good. new spell 1 slot
Protection from Law. new spell 1 slot

At time of casting you choose which one you know & want.

Thanks for the insight & help.
