magus wand mastery ?

[jonhl1986]

if i take this do wands i craft at 375 gp then use my caster level to determine how many dice it uses like would snowball be 5d6 instead of 1d6 and im a scion magus so would i use my charisma to it ?

Wand mastery says nothing about improving the caster level of wands, just the saving throw DC.

You may be confusing the Wand Mastery Magus Arcana with the Magician Bard's class feature of the same name. At 16th level a Magician can use his Wand Mastery ability to apply his caster level to wands. As Korlos mentioned, the Wand Mastery Magus Arcana doesn't let you use your caster level.

But you do get to use your Charisma modifier for the spell DC.

Additionally, any magus class feature or spell from the magus spell list that normally uses a calculation based on Intelligence is instead based on Charisma for an eldritch scion. For example, an eldritch scion with the arcane accuracy magus arcana grants himself an insight bonus on attacks equal to his Charisma bonus, not his Intelligence bonus.

ok thanks shame it doesn't apply to caster level.

Yes, I would love an option like that for my Staff Magus. As far as I know, the only ways to use you caster level with wands are the Magician's ability and the Staff-like Wand Arcane Discovery for Wizards.
