How to Craft Wands as a martial in PF2e Society?


Pathfinder Society

Silver Crusade

As a non spellcaster, how can I provide the spell to imbue the Wand with? Party members don't exist between sessions (which is when Downtime and Crafting occur) and can't provide the spell using a Scroll. Can I purchase spellcasting services from the Pathfinder Society?

For the most part, the process to Craft a wand is like that to Craft any other magic item. When you begin the crafting process, choose a spell to put into the wand. You have to either cast that spell during the process, or someone else must do so in your presence. That spell doesn't have its normal effects; instead, the magic is captured inside the wand. The caster doesn't need to pay any cost of the spell.

The casting must come from a spellcaster expending a spell slot. You can't make a wand from a spell that comes from another magic item, for example. A wand's rarity is the same as that of the spell it contains.

The reason for my question is because, in the spellcasting services, it says:

Spellcasting wrote:
Spellcasting services, listed on Table 6–15, are uncommon.

And in PFS you usually can't use uncommon options, unless you have a boon or the option is common under society rules.

However it seems strange to me that crafting magical items requiring spells is literally impossible for non-spellcaster, or even just a spellcaster without that spell in their list, or merely their repertoire, so I wonder if I'm missing something obvious.

This thread should be in the Pathfinder Society forum in Organized Play to get the most attention from the people who know best about PFS.

RAW? No, because you need access to the spell and you don't have it. But you can just buy the wand since that's common.

It's kind of a weird situation that would never come up in a home game, but that's how it is in PFS far as I can tell.

There is a way, actually, although it's a little circumspect. Those Admired by the Vigilant Seal can purchase the Curse Breaker boon. This will give you a cursed version of the wand you desire*, which you can then spend downtime to erase the curse from by making a Arcana/Nature/Occultism/Religion check as if you were crafting the item.

*Or any other item you have access to.
