So, when wizards and clerics have a spell on their spell list(such as cure light wounds), that means they can use a wand of that spell automatically.
Does that extend to alchemist? Can an alchemist use a wand that is a spell from his formula known list without having to make a Use Magic Device check?
From the PRD text on Alchemists:
Although the alchemist doesn't actually cast spells, he does have a formulae list that determines what extracts he can create. An alchemist can utilize spell-trigger items if the spell appears on his formuale list, but not spell-completion items (unless he uses Use Magic Device to do so).
Wands are spell trigger items, so they can use them without a roll as long as they know the corresponding formulae.
Does he actually have to know them, or do they just have to be on the extract list?
Your answer is in the text Xaratherus quoted. Just has to be on the list.
Thanks, guys
