Unarmed skill line idea for both stamina and magicka characters

So here's something that I've just thought of. There's already been a number of requests for an Unarmed skill line in ESO but to my knowledge all of them propose the skill line as stamina-based. Why not make it dependent on your highest value attribute instead? So if you have more stamina, the light and heavy attacks will look like melee hand-to-hand fighting. But if your magicka is higher, then your attacks will be ranged and look like magic projectiles. There would obviously be different skills as well: stamina-based skills for melee combat and magicka-based skills for ranged one.

I think that would be an interesting and fairly easy-to-implement addition to the game and it could add more variety to all the existing classes and playstyles.

The main reason I've thought of it is because I'd really like to play a mage who doesn't use any weapons at all, only magic. I remember that I hardly ever used staves when playing single-player Elder Scrolls games and was really surprised to find out that you absolutely have to use them to play a mage in ESO. I mean what kind of mage are you really if you cannot cast spells without a stick?

What's your opinion on this?
