It is instantly both the most accessible 200+ weapon on the market for mages, and the best one on the market, unless you're *really* pushing for that 4 extra pow. Let's do some comparisons.
Master Staff - 25 pow. Twice the Ori, and add 6 Myth. Both are mythical in their rarity rn, and in their price. I see Ori sell for 1500-2000, and I see Myth sell for similar prices.
Exalted Staff - 30 pow. Again, 6 Ori, and 6 Arcanium, which runs about 20k a piece right now.
Book - 26 pow, -50 weight. 3 Ori, and 30 leather (lmao it could be 300 and it'd still be a fraction of the price compared to the weapons posted above). I will die on the hill that 5% CDR is worth more than 4 pow. It's outright stronger than the master staff, while costing literally a quarter of the price.
I suppose we could bring in the big staff, the Scepter, which is 9 Nyeshk and 9 Tyrium (why is it so expensive holy hell), for +35 pow and +50 weight. Is 9 pow worth a 10% CD difference? I'm unsure. Probably not, when you can reach 300+ without it.
Honestly the easiest solution and most fitting is adding arcanium to the battle tome recipe. Arcanium binding, may 3x or 4x. Something up that alley.
