07-09-07, 09:17 PM The runestaff spell has to be on your own spell list.

Is this requirement able to be bypassed with use magic device? Can my Unseen Seer get a Runestaff of healing (Cure Light, Cure Moderate and Cure serious - made by or with help from a Bard) and then sacrifice a spell, make a UMD check and cast the Cure spell? I'd assume that the spell would be sacrificed regardless of the outcome of the UMD skill check.

Thanks!

I probably wouldn't have you lose the slot if you failed to activate it either. You don't burn a wand charge if you miss your roll. (Unless you have a mishap, of course.)

Emulating having a spell on your spell list is a clearly defined part of UMD.
