Scribe Ability Magical Smash Issue

I don't understand this. It requires a 2H weapon and does not count a staff as such. But it uses Magicka as its resource.

You wouldn't use a Magicka based weapon on a Stamina character nor a Stamina type weapon on a Magicka character. Stamina characters won't have enough Magicka sustain, and who would want an entire bar taken up with a Stamina weapon on a Magicka character?

What am I missing here? Seems this ability needs a resource change or staffs need to count as a 2H weapon.

    You chose magic damage, if you don't want to use Magicka use a different type of damage.

    I suggest reading up on scribing.

    There's so much more there, you're barely scratching the surface.

    you'll need more Focus scripts to choose different damage.

    the Scribing simulator on eso hub lets you see the possibilities of each grimoire

    Ok so this was my not fully understanding this system. The only thing I could add to it was magical damage and I have a lot of these scripts but clearly not enough.

    This makes me say, however, why can't a staff use this? It IS a 2H weapon. I use staffs in my martial arts and we certainly do not use them with one hand. How awesome it would be to have a close quarter strike for a magic dealer like that! When something runs up in our face BAM with the staff.

    Please extend this to be useable with staffs!!!

    Destruction staves use the destruction staff skills.
    2 handed is for greatswords, battle axes, and mauls.

    it would be nice to have a melee staff, but that would be a new weapon

    The Contingency grimoire from the Mages Guild can do a point blank AoE which is even better, it doesn't fire until the next thing you do which costs resources, which can be a skill or dodge roll or whatever. It's even better, though it has somewhat different script options than Smash.
