Empty off hand, as anything at all then in the off hand would be too similar to rdm. Also scimitar is a good complement as its another classical fencing weapon.

Pushing farther into the realm of fiction a blade whip could be fitting as well.

If seperating ourselves from blades, partisans can double as staffs and also happen to be one of the most historically effective weapons (it can blunt, axe, and impale) and could be fitting ish, however partisans are more tank knightly in my mind for whatever reason.
A naginata might be a better choice to differentiate further from dragoon, thus limiting the attack type to slashing.

Moving fully from edges blunt weapons dont fit a mage in my mind.

So of those which would you favor?
-Scimitar
-Partisian
-Naginata
-Blade whip
A blade whip would be pretty neat actually! Maybe look at Seven from Type 0 for animation inspiration.
