Playing Beneath the Stolen Lands with a solo Cleric (with an animal companion), I stumbled across a Wand of Death Ward, but it appears I can't use it, even though I should be able to.
* Cleric has Death Ward on the class list. (In particular, she even has one copy of this spell prepared.)
* Character doesn't have any ranks in Use Magic Device, but this shouldn't matter.
* Yet, despite the spell being on her class list, she can't actually use the want.
Why can't she use this wand?
Also, a couple other things I noticed:
* She has the option to cast Cure Critical Wounds, Mass in place of Mind Blank, even though Mind Blank is in her domain slot.
* She is not able to use a Scroll of Changestaff, even though she has access to that spell from one of her domains (Plant, which gives her access to the Barkskin spell).
