How about a costume pack that has a variety of handheld items/accessories such as staves, wands, canes, walking sticks, etc. They could be customized with varies toppers such as gems, stars, carvings, and so on. These could help round out a characters costume.

    I like it. My witch character could be holding a wand while she shoots fireballs at stuff.

    There had been attempts to get staff powers working that seemed to have been abandoned. Wands should be a lot easier.

    I'm not even insisting the wand be an emanation point - that would be short enough that it would still look like one.

    The big problem with (at least staves) is that they would have to make new animations to make it look decent once you start using powers. Would love having the option but it's not that easy to just add them if you have aesthetics and /or immersion in mind.

    Originally the Wizard costume pack was supposed to include wands and staves as emanation points (source). So hopefully the suggestion for handheld stuff isn't too far off.

    Wands could be passed off by Hand emanation points.

    Aparently staves have two issues:
    1) It appears they were having trouble with emanation points- hopefully an issue that can be fixed later.
    2) Arm sliders make weaponizing them an issue-same reason Heavy weapons became one-handed.

    for 2, with the gravbikes coming out and a similar issue fixed, perhaps the same can be done for weapons at some point, but my guess, it would take more time.

    Before people say DC has it!--there are no arm sliders in DC, so it is easier to make there.

    Still won't eliminate the above mentioned problems.
