Wands as ranged...

[ZexisStryfe]

I was thinking about something today...
In EQ2 there are many ranged items, bows, throwing stars, etc. but mages get access to none of them. Do you think it would be possible to create wands as a ranged weapon in the emulator (to pluck an idea from WoW)? I guess what I am asking is do you think it would be possible to use the wand attack animation and attach a "fireball" animation instead of the arrow animation and have it actually look like a wand is tossing a fireball?
Any ideas? Thoughts on possibilities?

In regards to the EQ2 Live servers, imbued wands already have ranged ability. What's great about this also, is you can be moving and cast the imbued spell at the same time.
