Not only that, BLU uses canes (like walking canes), BLM scepters (their one handed weapons from level 1-50 content), and WHM uses wands (their one handed weapons from level 1-50 content, like Y'Shtola's twig thing she uses in ARR when she's a CNJ-adjacent Job)

Personally, I love the book. I like how SMN summons like they're signing a contract or something. It's not entirely how it works in the lore, but I've liked it since I started playing in ARR. I feel like a wand/scepter would be a downgrade, honestly.
