No ma'am, I just got a wand in me pocket.

Madam Zap's staff is a hairpin.

Blogvo has a strap on his staff and tends to carry it slung on his back.

Slicem the Wizard's staff is a sword which is often worn in a scabbard.

Pokem's staff is a dagger which also has a sheath, concealed under his arm.

But I think the wording may be a holdover from Steve's previous version, which IIRC allowed the staff to be jewelry.

And I would not allow the wizard to use the powers from his staff for any of these scenarios. Direct physical contact (flesh-to-wood) should be required IMO.

What if you strap your wand to your upper arm under your robe? Would you need to point the arm at the target behind you?

Would that work for Harry Potter? I don't think so.

So the magic flows through your fingertips and not through your toes?

Exactly... like reiki!

Joking aside, there are numerous quasi-mystic traditions where spiritual energy is focused thru the palm of the hands so it's not much of a stretch thematically to presume that a wizard's staff would require a similar connection point.
