I wasn't sure about the offical rules on this, so I wanted to ask. If a creature has a spell-like ability (lets say, Magic Missle), can he use a Magic Missle wand? Technically, Magic Missle is on this monster's spell list, but I could not find a definitive answer in the DM's guide.

If you do not have a spell list, you can't have a spell on it. :D
