Stand back everyone, I've got this!
p 117 "A figure must have a
physical weapon (staff, sword, club, etc.) in hand in order to defend;"
A staff made as a wand of negligible weight can only do occult, not physical, damage.
Therefore, such a staff is not a physical weapon.
Therefore, such a staff
can not be used to defend.
QED. GG. TY.
Of course, as you have also pointed out, by this logic you can't defend with a shield either.
