yatta Wands Mastery and GM Bonus dmg from mana pool like how natural spells now benefit--occurs while fighting offensively. Staves MA/GM Double ups the spell(s) casted for MA, and chance of a 3rd go for GM. Staves have twice the lag of wands, and while some may have a nudge in plvl they still are largely inferior due to lag. Also wondering if we can get a usability upgrade. Right now wands/staves cannot fully coexist with other held gear aside from weapons. It'd be cool if we could embrace the magical tactic fully, and address the casters needs a bit more at times by enabling the "dual wielding" of: Wand/Staff + Shield, W/S + Instrument, and perhaps W/S + Focus object. Now, wand or staves already act as focus objects...but I don't think the bonus applies to say a fireball wand's damage? Maybe it could. Perhaps the two could even stack or partially stack. Hmm also forgot Scrolls (and Scribe!) MA/GM I think it'd be VERY cool to get to write our own mix/mash of spells with Scribe. MA could offer a chance of being able to fit a second, maybe even third spell? This could be further balanced by level ranges. So a high level spell could fill the 1st spell slot, a mid to low lvl spell could go in the 2nd, and only a low lvl spell could be placed in the third. For Scrolls, MA could offer a chance of applying a random meta magic when reciting. GM could guarantee that a meta magic would apply, and/or GM enables you to specify the MM you wish to apply, but only at a 50% success rate like GMing spells can.
