staff or wand (Divinity: Original Sin)

In fact, if the MAG is not going to attack weapons, it is the best due to the fact that it is possible to take from the thing at hand, which will lead in turn to greater amount of magical bonuses than a single staff.

the rod 2 more expensive but the damage comes out almost 2 times better .... staff 1 took and drove and rods need to carry a few of each type to max damage issue and change through a couple of levels as min.

Lockpicks can be crafted from 2 needles or a hammer+nails. There is also the option of joining the soap and some sort of key
