Touch spells through an object


Advice


Hello everybody!
I have a strange question. Does a way to cast a touch spell through an object exist? Accurately: a caster who (instead of touching a target with his hand) touches a target with any object (for example a stave or whatever thing).

Thank you


Wands of the touch spell in question
magic staves with the touch spell in question

Liberty's Edge

Magus's spell strike.


As far as I know, there is only the spellstrike class feature of magus, and delivering a touch spell via unarmed weapon.


Doesn't answer your question, but Spectral Hand is a handy (hehe) spell for delivering those touch spells at a distance. A wand of that spell is quite useful.


But if all you want is a thematical way of your wizard touching the staff to the person and unleashing a touch spell through it I for one would allow it, as long as you were aware that you didn't do additional damage with the staff and that it still counted as a natural weapon for any effect that fx. damaged you if touching the creature directly.

As a DM I see no problem in my players making their characters thematically unique or special (in fact I'd encourage it) as long as they don't try to gain mechanical benefits by doing it. :D


If we're talking about theme, I'm pretty sure that's DM terrain. But if you want your wapon to attack AND act as a conduit....
