I hope there are weapons that are designed for magic users (staves or wands) because making a mage whose best gear is a sword and shield that never get used is lousy (like in Silverfall)
I see you haven't played Drakensang or a6t least don't know about its background.
In Aventuria, there exists a kind of Codex that - as far as I understood it - *forbids* the use of swords for mages ! They are only allowed a staff (the staff *every* mage has, there), and perhaps a "Mage Rapier", a special weapon only for Aventurian mages ... Plus, they can't use any magic at all meanwhile they wear anything made of iron ...
