Hey! Really glad you enjoyed yourself this weekend. If you'd like to wield a staff in one hand whilst keeping the other free to throw spell packets, I know that a few places sell LARP-friendly latex short staves/escrima sticks/etc. So long as it's shorter than 48", you can wield it in one hand as either a Bastard Blunt or One-Handed Blunt, each of which have the same base damage as a standard Staff (i.e. 2,) but with the additional advantage that you can actually use them for aggressive combat (Staves can only be wielded in one hand for defensive purposes.)
I hope that's helpful - looking forward to seeing you in September!
