So if a character's spells are always under the effects of a metamagic feat (such as a Cleric with the healing Domain after level 6), does a wand/staff/etc. crafted by that character apply said metamagic to it's charges?
Using metamagic feats, a caster can place spells in items at a higher level than normal.
This is by no means an official response, but were I the GM, I would say a cleric with Healer's Blessing, and Craft Wand would absolutely be able to create wands that were "empowered" just as their own spells, since their spells would be the basis for the creation of the wand.
