Wand and Scroll Crafting

Crafting Rules Changes

---

The creation of wands and scrolls on TDN has been overhauled:

• Experience cost has been removed.
• Currency cost for crafting is:
  
  • Wands: 50 + <Innate Spell Level> * 25
    
  • Scrolls: 15 + <Innate Spell Level> * 15
    
• A crafting point system has been added (see below).
• Wands are created with 20 charges total, with a maximum of 5 uses per day/per rest.
• The wands and scrolls created can be traded or sold to players, but they cannot be sold to NPCs.
• Wands and scrolls are created with the minimum caster level required to cast the spell using its innate spell level, instead of a pre-determined caster level. (eg. A scroll of fireball will have a caster level of 5).
  
  • Note: Cantrips will use caster level 1.
    
• Wands and scrolls expire after a week.
• A wizard can still add spells into their spellbook by using a player-made scroll.
• Spells with an innate spell level greater than 4 cannot be crafted as wands.

Using Wands & Scrolls

---

An additional level-requirement has been added on TDN that characters must meet in order to be able to use a wand or scroll (without using the Use Magic Device skill). The full list of requirements are:

• The spell contained in the wand or scroll must be one that appears on the spell list for one or more of character's spell-casting classes.
• The character must have sufficient levels in one of those spell-casting classes to be able to cast the spell themselves (It is not necessary for the spell to currently be known or prepared by the character).

Crafting Points

---

Characters that have at least one level in a caster class capable of scribing a scroll or crafting a wand, will also have a pool of crafting points that are required for creating both types of items. The size of this pool is equal to highest caster level among the character's casting classes (wizards receive a +3 bonus to their caster level for this purpose only, to a maximum of 14). Every 24 hours, the pool will be completely refilled.

• Scribing a scroll will cost a number of points equal to the innate level of the spell (in addition to the currency cost). Eg. a scroll of fireball will cost 3 points to scribe.
• Crafting a wand will cost a number of points equal to twice the innate level of the spell (in addition to the currency cost). Eg. a wand of fireball will cost 6 points to craft.

Note: For the purpose of crafting point and currency costs, cantrips are treated as having an innate spell level of 1
