Sure.
The only thing they fear... is us.
That is... pretty much the best combination we could have rolled as we wizard. Staffs are of course typical of the Colleges and can also serve as an arcane focus, but also Long Barrel Firearms play well with Azyr which makes the wizard accurate, but does nothing to make them more resistant.
So we tripled "long barrel firearm".
You know... technically a mortar should count as a firearm...

doubled. the first roll was the melee one
| Short bow | 1 |
| short barrel firearm | 0 |
| long barrel firearm | 2 |
| crossbow | 1 |
| longbow | 1 |
| greatsword | 0 |
| thrust-style sword | 1 |
| staff | 3 |
| bastard sword | 1 |
| Polearm | 0 |
Can we use a really long barrel firearm as a staff?
Also would a double weapon technically count?
Also would a double weapon technically count?
that sounds like a good way to no longer have a functioning firearm.
Nah its magic so we will be fine

College wizard staffs (that's what I'm assuming your speaking about) are basically staff-shaped masses of material as magical as possible, made to become as attractive and conductive to a specific Wind as possible and engraved with runes (not dwarven ones)of as many cultures as possible relevant to the Wind in question. introducing moving parts or a hollow at the middle would get you a concerned expression from any Turner. Add in the inevitable Chamon contamination brought in by introducing blackpowder and worked lead, and congrats, your boom-stick is accidentally creating small amounts of Dhar every time you try to channle magic with it while it's loaded.

vote's closed.
That makes me wonder, could you do it as a gold mage, or would the fire from the ignition make dhar?

I guess you could, but you lose so much useful volume of magical material that the boost to your spell that you get from, well, having a staff would become much smaller.
The Aqshy created by such a short-lived flame would probably be snuffed out by the density of Chamon, in that case, while in the other case you'd keep the boom-stick loaded and the Chamon and the other wind reacting almost permanently.

Sounds like "you can try if you aren't too attached to being alive".
So, lets not.
But speaking of weapons: Are staffs and polearms strictly mutually exclusive?
Or would putting a speartip on a staff be possible (compare gugnir, the runed spear of odin)?

It's mostly about the difference in the way you're using it. If you stick a big blade on top of a staff and try to stick it in your opponent, it's basically some kind of glaive or halberd.
Also, it can really land you in trouble in another way: if you use a weapon that creates Dhar as part of its normal operation, you're in infraction of Article 7 of the Articles of Imperial magic (I'm not sure if Boney invented those or found it, but I'll be borrowing those), and you'll get the pyre before the month's out.
7. No Magister may ever study the Forbidden Lores of the Daemonic Powers, nor the unholy ways of Necromancy, nor any other sorcery or witchcraft that utilises the wicked powers of Dark Magic. Any Magister found disregarding this Article is guilty of an Abominable Act and is both Heretic and Traitor and will be put to sword and fire immediately.

The Articles are canon. See here:
Articles of Imperial Magic
The Articles of Imperial Magic are a list of laws pertaining to the use of magic, and rights of its practitioners, within the Empire. Having been advised by Loremasters Teclis and Finreir, Emperor Magnus knew all magic came from the same nightmare void as the Daemon Gods of Chaos — just as he...

it determines what teachers are available, how exotic the weapon they teach is and how good they are. There'll be another vote during the next update to choose which one you choose to learn from (only one), then rolls to see how Casiopea is going learning from them.
