Greater Magic Weapon on wands??

[Blib]

Is it possible to cast greater magic weapon on a wand that requires a touch attack to give +to hit??

If so some touch attack spells just got a WHOLE lot more powerful.

A good question, but based on the wording I would have to say no. GMW specifically says it gives a "weapon" an enhancement bonus. I wouldn't consider a wand a weapon.

I could see Greater Magic Fang used like this, to enhance a spellcaster's touching Hand, but not the wand itself.

Not a WHOLE lot.

To me, this looks like a waste of a useful spell.

If you could do it, of course. It seems pretty clear by the wording of the spell that you can't.

Technicaly speaking, a touch attack wand (like say, shocking grasp) simply casts the spell on yourself, allowing you to deliver a shocking touch attack with your hand. I know many people do a wand touch instead, but that isn't correct... not that it matters a lot.

Actually it does matter because touch attacks can be combined with unarmed attacks. So, if you can cast aspell that enhances your unarmed attack bonus, it makes touch spells easier to do.

Isn't it the FAQ that says that a touch spell delivered by an unarmed strike is no longer a touch attack, but a normal attack?

ie armor and natural armor bonuses apply?

Yup. Also you can't GMW your hand. That'd be magic fang from a druid.

Yeah, I was ignoring that I'm pretty sure Crothian's aware of it
