Good one handed weapon for mages?

[Turin]

So I´m in a game where I can forge all 5gem items for 1 gem and all 10 gem items for 2 gems. This means I have to build a ****load of crap.
So my caelum mages need some equipment, but I couldn´t find anything useful except for faithful/runesmasher/main gauche of parrying. Problem is, they can get luck easily already from the shield slot.
Caelums spells are mostly direct damage, so the runesmasher isn´t that useful.
And the maingauche helps only in melee combat, and if that happens the mage is in trouble anyway, because he is probably fatigued out.

So is there anything else useful to put there which I have overlooked?
