*New* Dual Magicka Based Weapon?

Noticed a large thread complaining about magicka/staff users not getting two full 5 piece sets on the same bar since staffs only count as 1 slot. Link to thread at end.

Since Zos definitely won't change stave slot mechanics, what about introducing a new magicka based dual slot weapon? Something simple with a new weapon skill line for these users. This allows Zos to balance that skill line separate to stave magicka users.

What do you guys think? I'd love to see more weapons in game and this would be a welcome addition instead of being forced into dual swords or single a lot staves.

    I would welcome a new weapon set that was:
    Close range
    Does magic dam on lt or heavy
    Returns magical on heavy
    Loaded with magical skills also close range
    Is two pieces for all purposes

    That's all.

    @STEVIL
    I agree with the close range. Staves get range and that's fair. If it's a new magicka weapon it needs to be closer in some way with less range than staves or with different utilities.

    What do you mean a rune? A weapon glyph, etc?

    Bound weapons. Make existing weapons light/heavy deal mag damage and restore mag on heavy:

    Balanced so it doesn't change abilities and make stam redundant.
    2 slot bonuses.
    Existing items not made useless.
    Aesthetics.

    Integrated into the soul magic tree at level 6. Lore wise the vestige is a leftover mind bit of soul (Hence the name vestige) in a daedric body, so binding ur own power to a weapon seems plausible.

    Makes sense to me and sounds really cool. Zos needs to listen to you lol

    If staves can be dual wielded with something like a book/tome, that would be interesting. dont know how traits enchants would work like a shield or not

    Yes because what mag sorcs need right now is the option more easily running 2 five pieces all the time.

    I like the idea. There are several good options imo. Wands, spell books, orbs, runes. Would be nice to see.

    I'd love to see sub classes in each class. Like entire skill line morphs like necromancy but I doubt it'll happen
