I actually really like this -- I'd never really liked the image of MUs twirling quarterstaves around. (Unleashing eldritch energies from a gnarly stick is another matter )

The wizard's staff is so iconic to me though that I don't think I ever questioned the ability of wizards to carry one and to use it as a weapon. Even though until Peter Jackson's LotR movies came out I can't recall ever seeing or reading about a wizard using a staff as a weapon except in RPGs.
