Natto learned “Fireball” it was super effective


Also yeah that’s a classic misconception, doesn’t have to be a staff, just a medium you’re attuned to. Magic swordsmen are a thing after all

Well, it depends on the setting.
How well can the item you are using conduct the magic power. Or how it may help shape the spell in making it easier to convert the raw mana into the desired effect.

Wands and staffs are usually the ones with the best properties for this.
Swords (of a suitable material) or most often only the conducts, but without the spell shaping help. Thus why magic swordsmen usually are weaker than pure mages who use staffs purely in regards to the strength of their magic effects (but making up for it with their swordsmanship added in).

Considering imagery is the more important part of this setting I do wonder if there’s a misconception on the gear. It’s not that you can’t be skilled with gear outside your class, it’s just people are so used to getting class assignment first they get locked into that class image without flexibility. Especially since it’s not a rigid spell system
