He gotta have something in case he runs out of mana

Tape over the slide will impede the action cycling. Also needs a stendo and a switch, to up the DPS of course.
I mean yes, but also, most (all?) glocks eject to the right, so… thats another problem here, the staff itself is gonna block case ejection, even if the action could cycle, in the depicted configuration.

Wizards. Good ol’ Ralph Bakshi.
That gets sampled in the song All Paladins Are Bastards

True enough! A stick with a Y in it just under the trigger guard would be the ticket. Also just laughing at the idea that you smack the end of the staff on the ground to shoot.

LOL, a new take on the phrase ‘boom stick’.
Yeah this here’s my America enchanted staff… she’s a slam-fire.

There’s an animated movie from the 70s I think called “Wizard”. This post reminded me of the end of the movie,

Ahem it is a Blasting Rod
One of the most inherently violent of the wizard’s tools, the blasting rod is used to quickly and efficiently focus one’s will… if carried into a delicate situation, is as subtle as a magnum handgun.

If Middle Earth had guns, Gandalf definitely would have carried an AK instead of a stick.
Tolkein fought in WW1, it’s no wonder he romanticized a time when wars were fought with swords. His war was a meat grinder over literal inches. Just waved of bullets and bombs that killed indiscriminately.
So he built a world where combat was about skill and one highly trained and motivated person could beat 100 enemies face to face
The people in WW1 with the highest kill counts were the ones that spent 12 hours a day loading shells into artillery miles from the fighting.
See that little stream — we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it — a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs. No Europeans will ever do that again in this generation.”
“Why, they’ve only just quit over in Turkey,” said Abe. “And in Morocco —”
“That’s different. This western-front business couldn’t be done again, not for a long time. The young men think they could do it but they couldn’t. They could fight the first Marne again but not this. This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. The Russians and Italians weren’t any good on this front. You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment going back further than you could remember. You had to remember Christmas, and postcards of the Crown Prince and his fiancée, and little cafés in Valence and beer gardens in Unter den Linden and weddings at the mairie, and going to the Derby, and your grandfather’s whiskers.”
“General Grant invented this kind of battle at Petersburg in sixty- five.”
“No, he didn’t — he just invented mass butchery. This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle — there was a century of middle-class love spent here. This was the last love battle.

Wait untill you see my America enchanted gauntlet.
Yeah this was an actual real thing developed by the OSS during WW2, primarily for assasinations, the Sedgley Glove Gun.
One side is a plunger trigger, the other side is a one shot .38 cal gun.
… It pretty much just is a glove with a gun duct taped to it, it was used in Inglorious Basterds, and also real life, it literally is just punch someone in the head and also shoot them in the head at the same time.
Also, I have actually played in a TTRPG campaign, with this.
Not DnD, but a custom made Delta Green campaign.
Something like this works pretty easily in its standard ruleset, our setting was the 1960s, my character was an OSS->CIA analyst who’d kept this glove gun as a momento from a field agent … Delta Green has a whole sanity mechanic that involves people and things your character holds dear, that tether them to reality… this was one of them, for my character.
EDIT:
American Magic, as explained in 18 seconds, by the TF2 Engineer.
Oh good. I thought the plunger was on the finger side. I was thinking I would blow my own ring finger off with this thing.
