You see there is a problem with this suggestion, I don't know if I want this or not. The thing is that if it gets implemented it will totally change things the way we see them here, and as it has been proven before people here is afraid of big changes.
Like Sorrow said, a Wizard dying by attacking paladins, that really does not fit in my mind. But at the same time, the challenge sounds great, I mean, fighting a wizard people normally go on GTB then this wizard change to his/her melee weapon and will do a great damage since the other person is on GTB and if the person change back to reduction shield magic attacks will hit again, and the way I see the weapon wizards will be able to be some kind of hybrids.
I will keep myself neutral on this suggestion for now. So I just +0 this suggestion...
