A friend and I thought the same thing. I remember they either said they were considering or working on implementing the ability for casters to cast with their weapons put away. Wouldn't be surprised if each mage job got their own special casting animation. In fact, we're supposed to get better auto-attack animations in 1.19, as well as a fix to the deal with drawing your weapon while running.
