(my aon.prd is bugged so I have no idea what this is, what it does, what its stats are, etc etc. I am in character)
Canary walks to the side, as far out of the way as she can be, with her⌠sharp metal thing.
(going afk)
(âMasterworkâ on a weapon means that it gets a +1 bonus to hit, but (unlike a magic weapon) doesnât get any special bonuses to damage or count as magic. The +1 from being masterwork does not stack with the +1 to hit from a basic magic weapon, or from similar effects (like the Magic Weapon spell). A falchion is a perfectly good weapon (2d4 damage, with an 18â20/x2 crit multiplier, so itâs good for crit-fishing builds), but as it is a martial weapon, Canary is not proficient in it.)

Despite being decked out in scale mail and brandishing a sheathed scimitar next to his hips, Arius doesnât stay too long with the master-of-arms, as he follows the other spellcasters to the quartermaster.
âI happen to know how to use a wand and read scrolls, yes.â Arius says with confidence.
âMay I ask what types of wands and scrolls you have available?â
âZelsh fights using longswords. Got any good ones?â Zelsh asked politely.
âIâll have a word with the quartermaster. Not a spellcaster but⌠close enough, I suppose.â
âMost of what weâve got wands for is spells you might want in a pinch, but wonât need every day, and where itâs not too important they be cast by an expert. Cure Light Wounds, Mage Armor, Faerie Fire, and the like. Had to import the wands of Faerie Fire all the way from Qadira, we did, but apparently Sarenrites are good for something. The scrolls have a bit more variety, since itâs worth picking them up even if youâll only ever need to cast the spell once or twice, and thatâd be a waste of money for a wand. Is there anything in particular you were hoping for?â

âOf course!â He takes down a beautiful longsword with a pommel carved to resemble a dragonâs head. âHow about you give this one a try?â
The blade swings easily through the air, balanced to stay reasonably agile even while you put quite a bit of force into your swings.

Kerraâs office is starting to become rather crowded at this point, but she takes the arrival of yet another party member reasonably well. âAnother caster? What do you do, and do you have training in wands and scrolls?â
âIâm an alchemist, madame. I make extracts. Wands are within my grasp but scrolls are not.â
âAn alchemist.â
Kerra is too professional to try to poach you from âthe project her patron literally hired you forâ to âproviding alchemy services for the estateâ, but sheâs not keeping the fact that this would be tempting entirely off her face. Sheâs heard alchemists can do all kinds of amazing things, like make people immortal or turn quartz into diamond or create potions of personal-range spells, and while she doesnât believe all the rumors even just the third would be incredible.
âI was just saying, we keep wands of Cure Light Wounds in stock, if thatâs something youâd be interested in. I can also throw in some alchemistâs fire and a tanglefoot bag, if you think youâd be able to use them.â
(Kerra doesnât actually know if alchemists have anything to do with alchemistâs fire, but sheâs guessing they do? Itâs literally in the name.)

*checks how wands and scrolls work*
I have severely mistaken scrolls for spellbooks, and it seems that learning from scrolls is impossible for magi. With that in mind, I will seek practical uses of these items.
(Why not just ask for a spellbook?)
I am not going to make Arius ask for a spellbook. Heâs not shameless enough for that!
*checks Magus Spell List*
Huh⌠Mage Armor is not part of magiâs spells. Interesting. Unfortunate too, because my UMD is +4, so thatâd give me a 25% odds of activating them.
âWhile I myself would appreciate means to heal myself, I am afraid I would not be proficient in using themâŚâ
âDo you perhaps have anything that could weaken my opponents, something that lets me attack from a distance, or perhaps just⌠Grease?â
((âŚyâknow, technically I could have Arius ask for a Cure Light Wounds wand, and make him give it to Wanderer since heâs the partyâs de-facto healer-cum-leader.))

Lionel doesnât press the topic
âThat would be much appreciated. Oh, and anyone can use an alchemistâs fire. We just make the stuff - though I do have the best throwing arm of the group, so I guess I would use it best?â

The rule is really poorly written, but the consensus online seems to be that maguses can learn from scrolls (if they make the appropriate skill checks and the spell is on the magus spell list), if thatâs something you were hoping to do

((âwait, only from Magus Spell List? That⌠is kinda odd, considering Magi can learn from Wizardsâ spellbooks and vice versa.))
((âregardless, if Arius can learn from scrolls, then heâd take any available; even if they are useless.))

âItâs perfect!â Zelsh exclaimed after a few swings. (Any changes in stats from the longsword Zelsh already has?)
She looks through her records. âWeâve got a wand of Magic Missile. Missing a few of its charges from over the years, but it should do. And I can get you a scroll of Ray of Enfeeblement or Grease â but do mind, if youâre trying to cast from a scroll, itâll only last as long and be as difficult to resist as a spell cast by a novice whoâs barely smart enough to learn wizardry at all.â
âGreat!â She unlocks and retrieves the items. âHere you go. The wand has forty-eight charges left.â
If sheâs annoyed about whoever decided to spend down charges from a fresh wand rather than using the one that was already missing charges, it only leaks through a little.
[you have obtained: 1 wand of Cure Light Wounds (at CL 1) with 48 charges, 5 vials of alchemistâs fire, and 1 tanglefoot bag]

[Itâs Masterwork â it will give him an additional +1 bonus on his rolls to hit, although not on damage. Let me know if you need any help putting it into the sheet]
