Honestly the approach I'd take with the modern iteration of Magic is to simply go with a martial Style that has it's own idiosyncratic wizard sword spell.

All of this talk led me to thinking about a hypothetical wizard who lost an arm and had a mechanical replacement arm made of various metals by thankful dwarves/gnomes/whatevers (the fantasy counterpart to a cybernetic arm).
Would the wizard be able to use the inorganic mechanical arm for touch spells or to extend his reach?
A proper answer to that would very likely be "It depends".
