Cantrip and wand of reaching

[Waldham]

Hello, I have a question about the level of a wand of reaching for a heigthened cantrip.

For example, if a character casts an heightened imaginary weapon cantrip using a wand of reaching, what is the level for the wand of reaching ?

Thanks for your future answer.

Until I remember only staves and spellhearts carries cantrips. There's no wand with cantrips.

Not only can you not put cantrips into wands, but a Wand of Reaching is crafted with a single spell of a given level, and the reach part only works on that one spell.

It's not like "apply reach metamagic to any spell you like".

So the wand's level depends entirely on what spell at what level that is crafted into it.

This.

Short, slender items typically made of wood, wands let you cast a specific spell without expending a spell slot. They can be used once per day, but can be overcharged to attempt to cast them again at great risk. Each wand holds a spell of a certain level, determined when the wand is created. Cantrips, focus spells, and rituals can’t be placed in wands.

Specialty Wands

Specialty wands can contain only certain kinds of spells, as noted in the stat block, and either alter the spell’s effects or affect how it can be cast. The Craft Requirements entry lists what kinds of spells the wand can hold.

Specialty Wands are just normal wands but with a specific metamagic effect added to the spell it contains (only).
