The fullblade-wielding fighter in my game has taken cross-class skill ranks in Use Magic Device for the primary purpose of using a wand of shield Another solution is to use a ring of spell storing so that the wizard/sorceror can cast shield into it, then transfer it to another character who...

The point buy method is described on pg. 169 of the 3.5 Dungeon Masters Guide. But it is not in the SRD.
