even if trained with a weapon they have to hand I think they'd only use their basic Skill for this reason.
It's one that hadn't even occurred to me until this thread but you could argue either way. Say the caster has a staff in their hands, I cant see they're putting it down before starting a spell. So I think we have to assume you can cast with something in your hands. If they have a staff in hand while casting and they're using combat experience to avoid an attack, you'd think the staff would make a difference. But on the other hand you'd expect their defense should be poorer while casting. So maybe weapon skill counts but defense while casting is at minus 2. What that'd mean is the weapon skill needs to be decent before it does more than balance out the penalty.
