Quick question--is it cliche for a mage to use a staff? I was just thinking of the awesome fight sequences in The Force Awakens where Rey uses her quarterstaff, and I want one of my characters to fight with one as well as use it for magic, at least until he gets a sword. (Mages are not supposed to use weapons, so this character circumvents the rule by reasoning "Hey, my staff is technically not a weapon...")
I'm a bit concerned, however, given the frequency that staffs and mages pop up together in fantasy media, from games like Dragon Age and WoW to books like LotR and beyond. Is it something everyone's seen before too many times, or can I pull it off?
