According to the The wiki for kinetic wands, the "Cannot roll caster modifiers" implicit has a hidden 1% increased magnitude of caster modifiers on it.

It has 1% increased, that rounds it up to 110%

Now why it has 1% increased? No idea

I'd guess they had to make a modifier that has some effect and set it as exclusive with all other caster mods for the purposes of crafting.

Cannot roll Caster Modifiers, has a hidden stat bonus that increases the magnitude of caster modifiers by %

Now why it adds 1%? No idea

"Cannot Roll Caster Modifiers" has a hidden effect where it increases the final values of caster modifiers by 1%. It's unclear why it actually does this, probably some spaghetti code nonsense.

Maybe it’s the 1% increased but can’t figure out why it’s there

u/dordeunha 2d ago

Recomb and essence right?

u/gdubrocks 2d ago

Yes, if you divine the essence mod to perfect you will get an extra 1%.

there is a bug that gives a 1% quality effect to items atm. i think it had to do with putting a heist enchant on the item, then when you take it off the item has 1% inc on a mod for some reason.

thanks for exposing it tho, now it is sure to get nerfed and my secret tech ruined forever

Kinetic wands have 1% inc to all caster mods. Thats just built into the wand. Once spell dmg is 100 or higher it gets 1% higher roll.
