New Weapon Skill Line: Wand and Source!? Magic users need more than Destro Staff / Resto

I understand that magic users can use the other weapon archetypes, however, I don't like the idea of using a 2H Sword simply for the increase in Spell damage or S/B for block cost reduction for my Magic toon. Give us something like Wand and Source! I think we deserve it ;)
Please post your thoughts / wishes on your ideas for a new magic based weapon skill line! What active abilites / passives they could contain

    One hand and a focus of some sort would make a logical magicka weapon line and has been suggested before. It does not need to include a sword or any other weapon currently in game as it could be a wand or something similar.

    Random thoughts


    Enchanted gauntlets/bracelets (think sorc overload style but expanded)

    Dagger/wand and tome/book (focus on status ailments/buffs)

    Bound weapon style (change form based on distance from enemy)

    Arcane bow (fires arrows off elemental energy)

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    A wand skill line, with at least one melee(ish) skill, would be awesome.

    And I thought I was the only one who made that connection (husband and I are playing it right now). Is "source" something that appears anywhere outside the Divinity games? Because this is the only source (pun intended) I know it from.

    If they added spellcrafting and we could use 1h weapons with a spell in the offhand or dual wield spells or 2 different spells at once it would be awesome. I'd be cool with just adding something like a magic offhand also.

    You're a wizard, Vestige! Now we should go slay Volan... wait, wrong universe.

    No seriously, I agree that a magicka weapon wouldn't hurt. But can it be something reasonable and fitting? Like say, magicka swords or at the very least tomes and not a damn wand?

    Ah, so that's where it's originally from! I've never read the discworld stuff (or, well, anything from Terry Pratchett for that matter), but maybe I should.

    As for ESO, I agree, it would be great to have an alternative to the destros as a magicka dd. Dual-wielding wands could be interesting - like the magicka version of the normal dual-wield skill line in the sense that it could be more agile and faster than the staves. I could also totally imagine just slinging spells from our bare hands (hopefully spells that we were able to craft ourselves beforehand).

    You won't be disappointed! :)

    RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.
