Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tzarevitch" data-source="post: 2405284" data-attributes="member: 1792">Metamagic rods do not increase the spell level. A sorcerer with the empower spell feat and a twin-spell metamagic rod can do the same thing 3x/day, and the rod doesn't expire. The problem is with the feat not the class. Also, I do not think that the artificer can use his ability to apply a metamagic feat to a second wand. I may not be remembering this correctly, but I think she can only apply A metamagic feat to A spell-trigger item, not feats to items plural. It doesn't cost as much xp because of the reserve. The artificer however pays exactly as much time and gold to make things as anyone else does. Also bear in mind that it take a WEEK to make a wand like your player was using. That means that every time she burns the wand out she spends up to 6,000gp and a week just to do it again or buys another one for 16,000 (or uses feats to reduce the time and cost).Anyway, my point is read the rules carefully and don't give any more than the rules allow. I am pretty sure that the artificer cannot metamagic a second wand in a round. Other than that, a sorcerer or wizard can do nearly the same trick with a metamagic rod instead of a wand.
