for example, using split ray on a wand of scorching ray

Also, is it possible to get sneak attack damage while using a wand?

thanks.

2. Yes, you can get sneak attack with a wand.

Sneak attack requires:

1. That the victim be sneak attackable
2. That the attack require a to hit roll.
3. That the attack does damage (no sneak attacking with a healing thing - sneak attack never heals)
4. That you be in a position where you can sneak attack the target (flanking, dex denied, flat-footed, etc.)
5. That the victim be within 30 ft of you if you do a ranged attack.

The last one is the most important consideration for wands, as it is the one you are most likely to forget about.

You can do it with a wand, you can do it with a cantrip, you can do it with a dagger, you can do it with a crossbow, you can do it with a throw. (Gratuitous Dr. Suess Referrence)
