An epic spell-to-power erudite (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20070629a) can make 9th level dorjes of the spells he's learned.

Otherwise, I think you're stuck with staves.

Do you mean wands of 9th-level spells?

You can't. Craft Wand is limited to spells of 4th level and lower.

Call it a staff.

Depending on the DM's ruling on the subject, if the aforementioned StP erudite has the Magic Mantle, he should be able to craft dorjes that are usable as wands for regular arcane and divine characters. They're basically identical to wands, except they're fluffed as being made of crystal.

YMMV.

Not 9th level spells, but wand related goodness I dredged up from a web article:

Awaken from Afar
Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 5, Clr 6, Drd 6
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One spell trigger activation item
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

An awaken from afar spell allows you to use a spell trigger item without actually touching the item. The item to be activated must be within the range of the awaken from afar spell, and it functions as though you yourself were triggering it from its current position. All other conditions, such as the requirement that you have the spell on your spell list or if the item's enchantment restricts its use to a particular race or individual, still apply. Both you and the item to be activated have to be on the same plane. The item cannot be in the possession of another creature at the time of activation, and it must be an item that you have previously triggered normally (in other words, without the aid of an awaken from afar spell.

New Magic Items

Ring of Spell Triggering: This ring allows the wearer to continually utilize the effects of the spell awaken from afar.

Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Forge Ring, awaken from afar; Market Price: 90,000 gp.

Duct tape three third-level wands together.

Like so?:smalltongue::

Alaunghaer's Triptych
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Targets: Up to three magic items
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Special
Spell Resistance: No (object)

You activate up to three items you are wearing or carrying, which together count as a quickened spell (whether you activate one, two, or three items, it counts as a quickened spell for that round, preventing you from casting another quickened spell that round). These activations occur in any order you choose. Only one ability of any particular item can be activated by a particular use of this spell, and the ability must be a spell trigger- or command word-activated ability. The items must be items that you could otherwise activate (for example, you have to know the command word for the item, a character with no cleric levels could not use this spell to activate a wand of cure light wounds, and so on), and must be used properly (items that use magic item slots such as bracers and rings must be worn in the appropriate location, a wand must be held in hand, and so on). The items function normally (you choose the target or area, are subject to any limitation of the items, and so on) and do not suffer any penalties due to being activated quickly by the spell. You may aim the items at the same target or different targets. If more than one item generates a touch effect (such as ghoul touch and shocking grasp), only the last-activated item's touch effect functions, with the other or others having dispersed as if you had cast a spell while holding the charge on a touch spell (in short, activating multiple touch effects is a wasted use of the potential of this spell).

A triptych is not completely reliable. Each time the spell is cast, roll d% for each item; a result of 5% or less means the spell fails to activate the item. If the item were the first or second item activated by the triptych, you can attempt to activate it again with your remaining one or two activations from the spell.

Another thing dredged up from a web article.

Why do you want to make 9th level wands?

Normal wands as created with the Craft Wand feat are limited to 4th level spells. Much closer to what you want is a scepter, created with the Craft Scepter feat (LEoF), which is basically identical to a wand but can store up to 7th level spells (and can optionally store a second spell, which kind of makes scepters half way between wands and staffs).
