Best 1h weapon for a mage?

[Kade]

Title says it all im using runic magic with a lexicon so im just curious if they're are good 1 handed mage weapons the reduce casting costs.

I found a Jade 1 handed sword that reduced mana cost, but I tossed it because I'm a warrior.

Aren’t there 1h staffs you can get in the mountain where you unlock mana?

If not, the axe is always a solid choice for speed and damage. Don’t forget you can summon your own blade with the Rune Mage skill tree.

You should grab the Light Menders Lexicon for 15% less mana use when casting runes, also get the sword called Brand. Look them up.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have been using the runic blade and im off to find the Lexicon.
and I guess ill grab brand time for leg work lol

My buddy did the conjured 1H weapon, took the spell blade breakthrough. the 1H comes lightning infusion so he gets an instant hard hitting cast with that. Does a lot of damage.

The jade sword is nice, with decay damage. Some monsters in the hallowed marsh drop it, just be prepared cause it attacks fast. the 10% reduced mana cost is also nice, you can rock it for quite some time untill you find another one handed. Plus it looks hella dope with the samurai type armour and straw hat (even if it's not a good helmet) you look fabulous

You can get a 1h mace from the same place that does more damage & is the same speed.

If you go to the dark zigarat (spelling, I know) in the marsh you can kill the dog things with flying swords alcolytes for a sword or mace repectively. (I forget if the dogs can drop the mace as well as the sword? That one's a maybe) Both do poison dmg, and both offer -10% mana cost, so choose whichever weapon type you like using more.

Staves are 2 handed weapons. Uses the same skill tree as Halberds.

Was looking for a better samurai style type of hat for some more protection. But with the semi samurai armour, straw hat, master trader boots, jade sword. Movement speed buffs, and the warrior monk skills with the damage block / reflect and the dash. They don't know what's hitting them.

If you really want to top it off, don't do mana so you keep the maximum stamina. Get all those basic buffs, Than breakthrough on wind. So you can infuse your weapon with windmagic. So for 3 min your melee is quicker (keep in mind stamina burns also quicker) But with flashonslaught on. You'll never lose a 1v1. Flash onslaught removes the discipline boon, so your get 3 dashes out of it, and time it right at the end you can use the onslaught for that extra.

I went for the counterstrike, cause timed well it's like playing sekiro

living wood axe or jade weapons. both reduce mana costs by 10%

then use the light menders lexicon for another 15%

[DoomsDay]

id say depends on your main element but id say Brand Jade Mace with the mace infusion spell obsidian weapons i have the DLC so i have an obsidian sword and OBS chakram then theres also the runic sword and then buy the boosted rune casting instead of bookless then you can boost the sword and elector ball etc etc

[Midas]

Jade sword or living wood axe imo. Probably want both and go between them depending.
