Ballistic staves.

You heard that right: a staff that shoots all kind of bullets. A literal boom stick. Useable in both melee and ranged attacks.

Of course, while the staff itself will be a Martial Arts powerset, capable of being used on it's own, it will also have two mini-sets: one on the Munitions framework (hence the term ''ballistic'') and one for the Sorcery framework (for the wizards).

The normal staff Energy builder, by virtue of being a MA framework, will be melee. Use one of the mini-sets? It will be ranged, with projectiles ranging from tracer bullets to eldritch blasts. The staff can be used as a flamethrower, sniper rifle, medigun, whatever fits your cup of tea.

Any ideas on how to expand it?

    A weapon-loaded staff sounds more like Gadgeteering to me. In my opinion, a MA staff power set would be more straight-up fighting with the actual staff. If you want to unify a hypothetical Sorcery and MA/Gadgeteering staff weapon set, just have them use the same weapon skins. Many of the gun skins have crossover and the Single Blade and Dual Blades sets share the same weapon skin category.

    Well, to be honest, there's technological staves that shoots energy balls/beams in comics. And since that in Arkham Origins, Deathstroke got one that shoots bullets...
