spellshaping items.

So I saw someone with a... erm... "Crappy Idea" (IYKYK) about a wand that double the range of a spell. And I thought, why isn't that a thing in PF2e?

Like not necessarily a wand to do it, but an item that you attach to an arcane focus or yourself to let you use a spellshape, even though you don't have the feat for it. Make it a talisman that a spell caster can attach to a staff or wand, and any time they cast a spell they can use an action to consume the talisman and use the spellshape.

Would that be unbalancable? would that erode the purpose of taking the feat?

This is a creation for creations sake thing, not necessarily getting ready to deploy it, but I want people's opinion. Could the item level of the talisman be equal to the feat level? What are problems y'all foresee I'm not thinking of?

Well.. there are wands that apply Reach Spell and Widen spell respectively.

Wand of Reaching
Wand of Widening

If I remember correctly theres a whole bunch of wands that is essentially "Cast the spell + additional effects" same with magic items that modify effects.

Catalysts too if you want to homebrew something Generic that doesnt take the talisman slot.

You might want to limit the maximum rank they can be used with and have lesser-moderate-greater variants that have increasingly higher spells they can be used with so its not a 3gp cost to double the range of rank 8 spells for example.

EDIT: Actually scratch that there is such a thing but... yikes that price.

That last bit is something I had never thought of. That's a really good point.
