Minecraft versions: Not version specific

Suggestion details: Staffs! When I picture an all powerful wizard I tend to picture a mighty staff in his withered hands so I figure that has potential as an alternative to wands. It could be either cosmetic(longer handle model) or functional(extra spell slots in exchange for each spell using more mana). Either way I'd love to see it added to the mod.

Other mods involved: Other mods that add wood?

This has been suggested many times in the past, I know staffs are cool as well but I think adding them to the mod on top of wands would be too much bloat for now. Instead, I think the best way of doing this would be a resource pack with staff textures (and even models) replacing the wands, and the names changed in all the language files to staff instead of wand. There's a chance I may decide to do this, but anyone is welcome to take up the challenge!

Maybe simply have the Master tier of wands be staffs instead to mark the Wizards ascension from a novice to a full fledged Master Wizard, Who has compelated his trainings in magic with a wand and earned the Staff.

Or make a certain upgrade change the Master Wand to a Staff. Like adding a new upgrade for wands to turn them into Staffs which can only be done with Master Wands (as the wizard needs to be strong and have mastered his teachings before he gets a staff) could be purely visual or add a effect but it would need to be expensive or rare to find.

Also makes the Wand lose the offhand function ability but maybe makes it more powerful so you can’t use a sword alongside your Staff only alongside a Wand
