May we please have a ritual dagger reward for mages for the Sword of Destiny quest line? Mages can use both crushing and piercing weapons. However, it seems we are only given the choice of crushing weapons for the long quest lines. Prismatic 1 is a staff, with no option for a dagger. Prismatic 2 is a staff, with no option for a dagger. Claymore line is a symbol item for the secondary slot only (not ranged, so no using a 2h staff with this item). Sword of Destiny is a 1 staff, with no option for a dagger. Allowing mages to use pierce weapons is a feature of the game. However, that feature is not availablefor these wonderful quest lines. Mage daggers from weaponsmiths are called ritual daggers. That situation is why the title has ritual dagger in it. -Leucippus
