The wielder points the rod at the magic item,and a pale gray beam shoots forth to touch the target device, attacking as a ray (a ranged touch attack). The ray negates anycurrently active item function and has a 75% chance to negate any other spell or spell-like functions of that device, regardlessof the level or power of the functions, for 2d4 rounds. To negateinstantaneous effects, the rod wielder needs to have used aready action. The target item gets no saving throw or means to resist this effect, although the rod can’t negate artifacts (evenminor artifacts). The rod can function three times per day.Caster Level: 16th; Prerequisites: Craft Rod, dispel magic, and limited wish or miracle; Market Price: 44,600 gp.--See, my problem is...there's no range for the ray the rod shoots.I'm using the medium range of the dispel magic spell used at 16th levelto create it, because it's all they've given me.  That makes myruling a ranged touch attack with a range of 260 feet.It doesn't feel quite right for such a potent effect.  Any advice orsuggestions?  Before anyone remarks on this: Rays aren't onlyclose range, according to spell rules.  Enervation, for example,is a medium range spell.Thanks in advance for the help, guys! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
