You can exceed this number, the metamagic feat is just added retroactively while using the spell trigger item.For example, you can pick up a caster level 1 wand of magic missile and use 5 charges to cast a quickened magic missile doing 1d4+1 damage from it.Of course, you can also quicken 4th level spells this way, but it gets kinda expensive. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />What I am not sure of is how to figure in Heighten Spell with this ability. If it is even useable, can you heighten a spell to 9th level? Will the DC be based on the minimum attribute then, which is higher than the one used in the wand's creation? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Anyways...I think it would be a nice feature for a wand of shield or wand of true strike (750gp only), a wand of magic missile 9th (6,750gp), or a wand of ray of enfeeblement 10th (7,500gp). Maybe even a wand of false life or even a wand of scorching ray 11th (16,500gp), but you are probably better off to just use that one normally. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />ByeThanee</blockquote>
