I have a question from my group regarding multiple spellcasters working together to create a magic item (in this case a wand). First, the relevant text from the top of the Creating Magic Items section:
...prerequisites must be met for the item to be created. Most of the time, they take the form of spells that must be known by the item's creator (although access through another magic item or spellcaster is allowed).
While this text is contradicted in each of the specific sections for the different types of magic items, for the sake of this arguement please assume that it overrides those contradictions. That is, despite the Creating Wands section stating, "The creator must have prepared the spell to be stored (or must know the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard)," please assume that a character with the appropriate feat can create an item either by casting from one or more scrolls, or by having an assist from another character, as stated above.
Now, here's the twist. The character with the Craft Wand feat is a wizard. We would like to create a wand of Cure Light Wounds, and both cleric and paladin are more than happy to assist with the crafting. Question is, are you allowed to mix arcane and divine magics like this?
If not, please cite references or be clear you're stating an opinion and/or house rule.
Thanks!
Our house rule is that all items except Scrolls can be worked on collaboratively.
The creator must meet the feat and level requirements and direct the spells. The spells may be cast from items or by servants etc.... In the absence of special conditions, any craft\spellcraft checks to make the base item may also be done by someone under the direction of the creator. The final craft\spellcraft check, where necessary, must be accomplished by the creator.
