Weaponwand idea

[the Queen's Raven]

Weaponwand doesn't specify melee or ranged, so I have an idea. I just don't know how to go about it. I want to make it permanent on a ranged weapon but make it so that I can swap out wands, depending on the situation. Possibly even store multiple wands in it and be able to switch which one is in use. Switching between stored wands would have to be an action of some sort obviously, could provoke attacks too. I was thinking either a pistol or hand crossbow. If I have to build this from the ground up what all spells would be involved and what cost? Or is there something already out there I'm missing? Thanks in advance all you way more brilliant than me people for your help.

Keep in mind that if the spell is permanent, that wand is stuck in there after it runs out of charges.

Well that was one of the problems. I do want to be able "reload" the weapon. My idea is to use this for a rogue, steel hound investigator, or picaroon swashbuckler. Guns and ammo are scarce in Golarion but wands are plentiful. Plus I like the looks of an early firearm or handcrossbow that delivers an unexpected surprise. I think Eric Mona made a comment years before the Technology Guide and Iron Guides came out, about just describeing wands as laser guns and other magic items as tech. This is kind of fusion of ideas.

I read the spell and I'm not sure you can put multiple wands within the single weapon it says a single wand.
now putting the wand into the weapon like a pistol make sure that you can fix the pistol or quick clear it because you break/destroy the wand as well.
the rules for permanent spells are in the core book and the requirements there. in the SRD they have some other spells but you need GM approval and the required amount of diamond dust is needed plus a caster that can cast 5th lvl spells. to be honest by the time you need this you will be carrying around a handy haversack full of wands and it wont matter to you about what wands you need or anything else because your going to be min 10th lvl anything.
it's a cool idea I'm all about non meta builds and ideas but this one seems like a waste of much needed gold for your character that needs every bit of it.

"Yet another fatal shooting accident occurred this morning when the well-meaning adventurer, Harry Hamfist, attempted to save his longtime consort, Mary Magpie, by bestowing magical healing upon her with his pistol. 'I guess I may have had it loaded incorrectly...them Alkenstar contraptions can be quite tricky don't ya' know...I'm sure gonna' miss her,' said Hamfist. Hamfist himself was also wounded when his firearm misfired and exploded during the healing attempt, causing him to lose his left eye and several digits of his right hand. Hamfist is currently recovering from his injuries at the Aroden Memorial Temple. No charges have been filed against him at this time."
