Can I enchant a 6 foot stick as a wand?
Can a wand so enchanted also be enchanted as a staff meaning this is my staff of fire/wand of magic missiles?
Can a single wand hold more than one wand enchantment? for example this is my wand of magic missile (50 charges left)/wand of burning hands (50 charges left)?
I tried searching for these answers already but couldn't find them. Sorry if it's already out there.
I ask because my Magus is going to be a Staff Magus AND take the wand wielder magus arcana (which allows you to cast from a staff OR wand)
As far as the core book a wand seems to be a baton and according to my home dictionary and dictionary.com a baton can be a staff...
Any answers appreciated. Thanks.
I don't know for sure, but...
I think the wand and staff sizes are more for balance than anything else. If you have staves that are wand sized, you could draw, use, and store them much easier than their current incarnation, which for such powerful items seems a bit wonky. However, if you have a DM that'll allow it, go for it.
As for the wands of multiple functions, I don't think that's allowed in the core rules. It's one spell per wand, I'm afraid. You can only get multiple spells in staves, and even then, the spells come off the same charge pool.
I think so mostly yes... if that helps.
I believe the rules allow you to place two magic items into the same item at great expense. And the final size and shape can be played with.
BUT to preserve RAI, I would only allow you to use wand feats with just the wand portion of your expensive fused spell tossing apparatus. likewise staff feats would only apply to the staff side.
Carve the staff with a couple groves along it's length and some kind of magical "conduit" at the core. Insert wand into the groove. Fire. Replace wands when empty.
At least that's how I'd do it.

Can I enchant a 6 foot stick as a wand?
The "Rulesy" bit
"A wand is 6 to 12 inches long, 1/4 inch thick, and weighs no more than 1 ounce. Most wands are wood, but some are bone, metal, or even crystal. A typical wand has AC 7, 5 hit points, hardness 5, and a break DC of 16."So no. Personally, I'd let it fly but *shrug* those are the rulesy bits.
Can a wand so enchanted also be enchanted as a staff meaning this is my staff of fire/wand of magic missiles?
More rulesy bits:
"A wand is a thin baton that contains a single spell of 4th level or lower. "So no, though house rules can be fun.
Can a single wand hold more than one wand enchantment? for example this is my wand of magic missile (50 charges left)/wand of burning hands (50 charges left)?
See the above rules quote.
The Wand Text is pretty short and to the point actually, the staff section is a touch bigger.

There is a section titled "Physical Description" that's pretty clear.
Rules wise:
You can make an over sized wand or an under sized staff. A staff for a tiny creature is going to be basically as useful as a wand for a medium sized one. Likewise a wand for a giant is going to be as large as a staff for a human.
You can create custom magical items with many odd properties. For example say you wanted a 'Force Manipulation Ring' you could take a ring and enchant it as a ring of deflection then add a 50 charge spell trigger magic missile to that ring. You now have a ring that functions as both a ring of protection and a wand of magic missiles. The cost if I remember correctly is the cost of the more expensive property plus double the cost of the less expensive property.
