You basically already have the animation for these things now lets enhance our Staffs ect with some magical properties and turn them into Ranged Magic Based Attacks.

Magical Staff of Firedart - Firedart    INT Based dmg. Not Strength.

Magical Staff of Fireball - Fireball

Ect ect.

Weakness? They're not as long ranged as Archers. Maybe 3 squares range? This means you need soldiers guarding them in the front.

So Staff Wand and Gauntlets.

Basically Staffs do full dmg? 100% ? (Wizard)

Wands / Globe (Orb) are 1 handed (Shield Side) and do 66% ? (Warlock)

and Gauntlets just take up an armor peice but do 33% (Mage Knight)

Don't want to go outside of the lore, but keep in mind if a sovereign created/researched/invented these equipments then it's still comming from his source of power Just like any other magical equipment.

I'm pretty sure you guys already have things like this planned out though. But it never hurts to show you how badly its being demanded We love our Magical Equipment in War of Magic!
