Request to be able to glamour Wands & Scepters to Staffs

Please note that when this is introduced the one-handed versions will no longer appear as a reward from the actual content; however, players will be able to exchange their weapons for the opposite version.

Why must this happen?
I'd much rather see more one handed weapons come out than to do away with them altogether.

From the live letter, they've mentioned in 3.2 that Paladins will have shields drop alongside the swords, so they don't need to chase after two drops instead of one. Why not apply this to the mages and give them single handed options again?

Excellent point. I too want to see more 1h weapons/shield for mages the easy was to make this work is to strip stats from the shields and putting the total stat budget on the weapon to match 2h weapons, while preserving 1h weapons and shields for casters. I'd prefer that they just do it properly, but it's clear they want to move away from 1h weapon/shield. In which case i'll compromise if we can retain the look and feel.
