I have a quick question about wands.

lets say a paladin takes sword of the arcane order.
Then they take battle blessing.
If they cast a spell from a wand, does that spell receive the advantage conferred by battle blessing?

keep in mind that wands, as spell trigger items, have an activation time equal to the normal casting time of the spell, whether that be a standard, swift, full round, immediate, or whatever action.

I would assume the answer is no, but I'm not positive.

Battle Blessing does not change the normal casting time of any spell, it simply allows the Paladin to cast their spells faster than normal.

Additionally, there is some debate whether Wizard spells gained through SotAO are even eligible to be sped up by Battle Blessing, since they are not technically Paladin spells.

You don't cast a spell from a wand anyway. Wands are used via the spell trigger method which is different from casting a spell.
