Or they could just make new animations involving staff for all blast primary/secondaries...

Staff Blast would feature the ability to attack your enemies with various elements such as: Fire Ice Electricity Psionic Darkness Light These elements would be accessed much like Dual Pistols' alternate ammunition types with toggles. Only one element would be able to be accessed at a time and no attacks could be used until an element was selected. (All elements would have to be available at level 1 of course.) Also, the attacks' damage type would depend on which element is active. |

They could. But this might be easier and would be more interesting.

I disagree. Adding new animations would ensure that my currently magical characters don't all have to re-roll in order to be aesthetically pleasing or all use the same powerset.

They could (and I would like to see it), but the initial suggestion seems to call for multiple damage types within the same set.

I think there is a magic blast, maybe staff related powerset coming...
Staff...blast?
So, what would the secondary for that be, healing gunkata?

I would love to see Blapper combo of Staff Blast and Staff Manipulation using some or all of the new Staff animations from the melee set.

This far as I'm concerned they can do it both ways but I would love a set that offeres multiple damage types.

Indeed. There's absolutely nothing strange about the concept. Putting aside a truckload of wizards who've blasted with staves (not to mention rods and wand, now make your saving throw), there's also Starman/Stargirl's cosmic staff, and probably a few other tech staves of that nature in comics that aren't springing immediately to my mind.

actually, given its ability to negate typed defenses/resistances, im not sure i'd agree that balancing this set would be more useful than the alt animation idea(the alt animation idea also has the benefit of using other emitters, like sci fi rayguns, magic glyphs from hands, or even something genre appropriate, like an electric guitar) more thematic breadth that way bundling all the work under a larger goal that they can already do.
