Recharging wands staves etc

@mmbutter: that doesn't jive with the rods and staves, which is why that sentence about wands being non-magical should be struck.

OK, So I have the only pdf copy with the text shown above in it? My lucky day.. I wonder if my unique copy will be a collectors items some day like the Deities and DemiGods book with Newon and the worlds of Elric in them?

Apparently so. Here's what mine says, copied directly from the PDF.

WANDS
Unless listed otherwise below a wand is a thin baton that contains a single spell of 9th level or lower. Each wand has 50 charges when created, and each charge expended allows the user to use the wand’s spell one time. A wand that runs out of charges is just a non–magical stick.

A wand has a spell magically imbued within its makeup. This spell may be invoked by its wielder. The necessary challenge and caster level of the spell cast by the wand is either 1) equal to the level of the wielder or 2) equal to the level of the wand’s creator, or, if unknown, as if a 12th level caster created the item.

The wielder can invoke the spell affects so as long as charges remain within the item. Each use of such abilities drains one or more charges from the wand. Any newly created wand has 50 charges in it. Some wands may be recharged with certain spells and rituals; check the item description for details.

A typical wand is 6 inches to 12 inches long and about one quarter of an inch thick. It often weighs no more than 1 ounce. Most wands are wood, but some are bone. A rare few are metal, glass, or even ceramic, but these are quite exotic. Occasionally, a wand has a gem or some other device at its tip, and most are decorated with carvings, runes or other such signature embellishments.

Most wands are simply storage devices for spells and thus have no special descriptions. Refer to the spell descriptions for all pertinent details on the wand’s spell function. The following is an example of a wand:
