==Wands and Scrolls==
==Wands and Scrolls==
In order to use charges of higher level spells, you must have sufficiently high class levels. Full spellcasters (cleric, druid, sorcerer, wizard) may use scrolls of twice their level. Bards, Rangers, and Paladins may use scrolls up to their level. ("spell circle"). So for example to use an arcane wand of Improved Invisibility (level 4 spell), you must have 2 levels in a full spellcasting class, or 4 levels as a Bard. A 1wizard/5fighter multiclass would not be able to use such a wand or scroll, but instead must have 2 wizard (or sorcerer) levels. A 1wizard/5fighter would, however, still be able to use wands with level 1 spells (shield, protection from alignment, etc.). A character with 2 levels of cleric and 3 levels of fighter would only be able to use divine wands up to level 2. A level 3 ranger can only use divine wands up to level 3. Etc.

So for example to use an arcane wand of Improved Invisibility (level 4 spell), you must have 2 levels in a full spellcasting class, or 4 levels as a Bard. A multiclass character with 1 level of Wizard and 5 levels of Fighter would not be able to use such a wand or scroll, but instead must have 2 levels of Wizard (or Sorcerer). A character with 1 level of Wizard and 5 levels of Fighter would, however, still be able to use wands with level 1 spells (Shield, Protection from Alignment, etc.). A multiclass character with 2 levels of Cleric and 3 levels of Fighter would only be able to use divine wands up to level 2. A low level character with 3 levels of Ranger can only use divine wands up to level 3. Et cetera.


If you have insufficient caster levels to use such a wand or scroll, you will simply be unable to do so but will not lose a charge.
