The Core Rulebook states that the DC to create a magic item increases by +5 for every prerequisite that the creater does not meet. It also states that wands or other spellcasters are allowed to be used in place of spellcasting prerequisites. However, it does not explicitly state that this allowance forgives the DC increase, and it could be read either way. What is the general consensus on how that should be interpreted? Should involving another spellcaster (or a wand) negate the +5 to the DC? I've always personally taken the "too many cooks spoil the broth" approach to interpreting the increased DC rule, meaning that unmet prerequisites don't necessarily meet the prerequisites aren't met, just that the item crafter has to go to other sources to get them met (you just don't have to roleplay it out), and with each new pair of hands involved in the process, the better the chance that something will go wrong. If that is a correct interpretation, then involving another spellcaster would still increase the DC, although using a wand might not (if it is the crafter using the wand).
