    Weapon Proficiency's : A Wand Adept gains no new proficiency's.

    Spellcasting: At each level indicated on the table, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Wand Adept, you must decide which class gains each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

    If you did not have a spellcasting class before entering this prestige class, then you gain no benefit.

    Wand Focus (Su): A Wand Adept adds his Charisma modifier to the DC, and his class levels to the caster level of any wand he wields.

    Identify Wand (Su): A Wand Adept can identify the spell stored in a wand by handling and examining the wand for 1 minute and making a successful Spellcraft check (DC 30 + the level of the stored spell). A Wand Adept can use this ability a number of times per day equal to half his class level + his Cha modifier.

    Metawand (Ex): The Wand Adept learns how to manipulate the eldritch energies held within the wand. At 2nd level the Wand adept gains one Metawand ability and another every 2 levels thereafter.

    To use a Metawand ability, the Wand Adept must know the Metawand ability and expend an additional amount of charges listed. Doing this has no affect on the activation time, unless it is the Quicken Metawand ability, which makes it a swift action.

    The Metawand affect is the exact same as its Metamagic counterpart. There is no limit to the amount of affects you may use at once (but only once per affect).

    The cost of these abilities cannot be modified by feats that reduce the cost of Metamagic feats.

    ** - You must have the Extend Metawand ability


    Wand Quick Draw (Ex): At 3rd level a Wand Adept can produce a wand stored at his belt or a bandolier as a free action, as if he were drawing a weapon with the Quick Draw Feat.

    Craft Wand: At 5th level a Wand Adept is able to recreate wands from the extensive knowledge and use of using them constantly, he gains the Craft Wand feat as a bonus feat, if he already has this feat he gains a bonus feat for which he qualifies for.

    The Wand Adept does not need to know the spell he is putting into the wand, he instead emulates the arcane patterns and flows that he has learned from his experience of using them. He must make a Use Magic Device check (DC 20 + Caster level) to emulate the spell normally required.

    Push the Limits (Su): At 7th level, the Wand Adept as mastered the art of utilizing every last ounce of energy, when the Wand Adept uses a wand he may have the spell be affected by the Enhance Metamagic feat. A Wand Adept can use this ability a number of times per day equal to half his class level + his Cha modifier.

    Recharge (Su): At 9th level, the Wand Adept gains the ability to recharge the wands he has made. For each point of Charisma modifier the Wand Adept has, he may add +5 charges to a wand per day. These charges do not need to all go in the same wand and can be freely distributed.

    Wand Mastery (Su): At 10th level, the Wand Adept has mastered the art of using the Wand, he can use his effective character level as his caster level when using wands.

    Basically, an advancement to the Canith Wand PRC.
    Recharge is to allow the class to keep up and not have to continually buy more wands, at that level he is going to be throwing 3rd level max against much higher levels.
    Also, why enhance comes free.
    Not overly powerful, but fun.
    I take this back, you could be throwing 3rd level metamagicked to the sky spells at people with spell levels way higher than 9th.
