Remember that one?
There is also a similar one in Reapers March, during the five finger dance. Also usable against chickens.
So... Harry potter it aint, but there -are- at least -some- wands in use in the elder scrolls universe!
And the former got modified during that quest to zap scamps as well... so... small step from there to zap everything else as well, right?
Thus... it -would- fit the lore. More or less.
Runestones that have a "cast magic with empty hand" look would be much more "Elder Scrolls" tho. But... noone said we cannot have both options, right? And people have been talking about an "One-handed and Magic" skill line for quite a while now... and of course the logical continuation of that would be a "Twin Magic" skill line for dual-wielding runestones or wands, so those two ought to come in a package deal. Which would be a really nifty additiond for those who'd like to polay their mages in a new way and leave their staves at home for a bit...0 -

✭✭✭✭✭We should have many visual ways to do this.
1. Big sticks, the Staves we have now
2. Little Sticks or Wands
3. Rings or other Jewelry
4. Hands
5. Smaller metal objects like Cross or Talisman
6. Tail (beast races would get a cool cast animation)Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

If it was a steel "wand" with some crossguard... no, wait, that would be a Sai, would it not?
But generally, it would be no stretch of the imagination to block with a magic wand, just assuming it generated a small magic shield to block a blow...1 -
CambionDaemon✭✭✭If they gave use proper wards, instead of the silly bubbles then Magicka melee would actually work.
Bound weaponry should have been in the Sorcerer skill set from the beginning. Sword and Spell would be way to go, but they said that it isn't going to happen.0 -

✭I agree we need another magicka weapon, the rune or jewel thing would be awesome, but I also hate wands, maybe even more than staves. I always felt like the one weilding it looks more like an orchestra director than a wizard.0 -

Would be interesting to put in a 1h magicka weapon like a wand and you can have your off-hand be w/e you want (shield, sword, etc). Would be sick if we could also get like off-hand books or orbs to go with it ha.

Wands no. But 1H & rune or magika melee similar, yes please. Remember though we had dual wield as very viable for about 3 years till they finally killed it last year, many thought it was an abomination but it was a brilliant play style. But ZOS nerfed it patch after patch, its unlikely we will ever have more than staves

Then us a stave? I still think Magicka users should have more OPTIONS than Staves. That's all we really get. Staves. ZzZZzZZzz. Stamina has so many options for their weapons.0 -
Haha this thread was fun!!
I was just using wands as an example but anything magicka 1h brought into the game I'd be happy with.
And I would love to use a wand/scepter/orb/run and a shield. Would remind me of my Everquest days lol. Reminds me of the translucent shield I would used on my Wizard or Enchanter with a 1h weapon
. Felt pretty dope tbh. 0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Another option, could be the addition of Bound Weapons in some shape. Those spells have existed in TES for a long time and is a great solution for a magicka based weapon that is melee and/or one handed.

✭If you anger mage NPCs in this game they pull out bound swords for melee and start casting flames with their other hand... the vestige just needs to study at the mages guild and git gud3 -

Wish Denied.
It was over-ruled by the satisfaction of a previous wish. When Granted, that wish gave us the ability to add two staves from the same set and have them count as two, even when only one is actually being used. That now makes it easier for staff users to make up one complete set with two staves and three other items.
I'm sure I'll be told if I'm wrong about that.

Dragonknight lava whip, nightblade red daggers & bow, Templar golden spears, nercomancer scythe, FG dawnbreaker... those are the "summoned weapons" in ESO. Clearly the spells will get some refinement in the eight or so centuries until the other TES games, huh?
But that's how the magic is represented in ESO - magic up a weapon for one strike.
If anything, I could see them as "Bound Weapons Motiv" - merely visuals.
Because otherwise these things would not nearly be of any effectiveness.
I mean... magic up a weapon, without rune enchantment or set bonus, then require stamina skills to use it? And yes, that's how it would work. That's how it worked in the other TES games too - you conjured the weapon, but then had to use your everyday weapon skill to actually use it like any other weapon of the type... this translates badly into ESO when compared to set-piece, rune-enchanted weapons!0 -

On a more serious note, yeah, not everyone liked the idea. That's why I like the idea to have them as -options-, get some skill lines for one-handed magic weapons, then make both "wands" and "runestones" and let pick people whichever they like for their characters!
I could see a noble altmer mage with a dainty fairy wand that would look wierd in the grubby grasp of some orc shaman... who'd get a runestone instead. But for the altmer princess... it would look fitting, right?Edited by TheShadowScout on August 9, 2019 10:28AM0 -
