Does Two Weapons help against Thrown Spells?

Wizard p20 / ITL p117: "Defending is effective only against non-missile spells and attacks"

So if I defend with one dagger I reduce the chance to be hit by thrown and special spells (including the occult zap of the Staff special spell), correct?

What if I have two daggers and the Two Weapons talent? Is there any extra benefit against thrown and special spells?

Also do I need a weapons talent to use the defend option or can I just pick up any old stick and defend with that? (Before or after casting Staff on the stick?)

Insert line here about a Master Fencer parrying a Death spell to increase the chance that the four hexes away wizard will fumble out the full cost of the spell.
