Question Title: Will we ever be able to split peas while we have a wand/staff/orb in our hands?
Category: Magic
Question: Scenario.
Buff up arcane/focus so I can use my creature VI wand. Ahh, life is good.
Attack banderling. Oh no, out of a critical taper. It's bad enough that I have to go out of combat mode, and find where I stuck those red taper peas while the banderling is whacking on me.
As it is, I have to unequip my wand because for some reason, splitting a pea is treated like a trade skill. (So is combining shards, etc, but obviously we don't really care about those.)
This is bad not only because it takes awhile, but if my arcane lore buff expired, when I re-equip my wand, "Your arcane lore is too low.." "Banderling killed you. You are wi flagged to always burn everything uberfast. Bwahaha. You have lost: Prepatch GSA leggings, Coat, Hoary robe, and all your valuable possessions. even the no-drop ones."

Is it possible to change it so I can keep my wand equipped while splitting a pea?
