And Wands as mainhanders. Can just do it the easy way and make them weaker version of the current staffs, and have them be the same materials.
Other suggestion: option to go straight to next arena challenge, keeping OC and buffs.
Even easier: Just transform all staffs into one handers so people can use regular Shield or more offensive books.
Given how hard mage sucks now this could be a good way to fix it.
