staves, rods, or wands?

[Penitent Pilgrim]

Are there mage weapons like staves or do all characters use melee or ranged weapons?

[jmvbento]

There's wands. I can't recall ever seeing a staff, I don't think there's any.

Dagger and sceptre are "mage" weapons, they usually do less physical damage but have higher bonuses to elements and relevant skills / spells.
Caster off-hand is the same, it has no block chance like a shield, but the same type of bonuses and boosts geared toward spells etc.
There are various two handed weapons that have bonuses and skills that are clearly designed for caster use. No staves exactly, but a lot of similarities in how they work with a caster.

Edit: Check out Loyalist Items 2 dlc on the store page. It's cosmetic skins but as close as you'll get to looking like gandalf in this game.

Thanks.

Any weapons that shoot fire, lightning, or cold?

[KG]

There are no weapons whose primary purpose is to shoot fire lightning or cold but there are all sorts of ways to end up shooting elemental stuff all over the place. Turning your bullets to lightning bullet things, using a weapon component that grants a chain lightning spell, swinging your sword to cast a wave of fire, etc.

If spellcasters in the GD setting used staffs (they don't), they would use them to stave the enemies' skulls in, not to point it at them and pew-pew the enemies to death. (The staff would probably deal non-physical base damage though.)

The pew pew in this game comes from spells, not weapons.

That's bang bang, not pew pew.

It's pew pew if the damage is elemental, surely? :)
