			[[Craft Wand]] is an [[artificing]] technique that allows a spellcaster to store the power of a spell within a specially prepared wand. Spells up to and including 4th level can be added to wands including Neverwinter Nights standard spells and Avlis' added spells. Note that on Avlis, a player character does '''not''' need to have the Craft Wand feat in order to craft wands.

	~~'''Craft Wand''' is~~ the ~~second type~~ of ~~[[artificing]] implemented~~. ~~This~~ is the ~~act~~ of ~~putting~~ the ~~power~~ of ~~a spell into a specially prepared wand~~.		== Materials ==
			To craft a wand you need special base wands. Not just any stick will do. The better the base wand you use, the better the spell you can put into the wand. Wands are limited in the range of spells they can hold. Wands have minimum caster levels and minimum charges varying with the base wand used, minimum caster level for a given spell is not applicable. It is possible to increase both caster level and the number of charges in the crafted wand with gems. Each base wand can hold a certain number of gems.

	~~== Materials ==~~		'''Further information about base wands, gems, their in-game locations and how to use them in wand crafting should be treated the same way as crafting recipes. This information can only be shared in-character.'''

	== ~~Using~~ Metamagic ~~Feats~~ ==		== Metamagic and Other Modifiers ==
	When crafting wands, it is gems that enhance the spells as they are released, the wand itself only stores the base magic of the spell. When crafting a wand, you need not cast the spell with any metamagic feats, with the exception of energy substitution. All metamagic for a wand requires a certain kind of gem, however with energy substitution you still must substitute the energy to atune the gem to the proper energy.

All metamagic for a wand requires a certain kind of gem, however with energy substitution you still must substitute the energy to atune the gem to the proper energy.

	~~== XP Cost ==~~		The default spell DC of a finished wand is the same as that of the spell as cast by the artificer. This takes into account all relevant modifiers, including spell focus feats, bonuses from AMS, Favored status, and Vortex Rank.
	~~As with all artificing, every~~ wand ~~carries with it an XP cost~~. This ~~cost is similar to that outlined in 3rd edition PnP~~, ~~but only half that cost~~. ~~Thus the formula for~~ a ~~given~~ wand ~~is:~~
	~~:: (Ajusted spell level) x (Caster level) x (Charges) x 0~~.5		Bonus caster-level from AMS, Favored status, and Vortex Rank will also be taken into account when crafting a wand. But no other bonuses or effects of from these sources will be applied.
