Pro tip: save on encumbrance by ditching the staff and just using the shotgun
Just make the wood stock into a wand, now you have a shotgun that can cast magic missiles for long range targets.
A recurrent gag in the chinese novel when a mage revolts is that the mc often figths other mages that have anti magic talismans or are messing with his casting so he shoots them with a flintlock
And this is why my DM made an enormous mistake, giving my wizard (with a familiar) a ring of spell storing.
My wizard: Fireball!
Enemy wizard: Hahahah counterspell!
Nick the owl: Hoot hoot ho-hoot hoot! (Translation: counter-counterspell up your cloaca you absolute son of a cuckoo!)
Enemy wizard: Well, OK. Still, I made my saving throw!
My wizard: Hm… care to try again? (Silvery barbs.)
Enemy wizard: Uh… *explodes*

I love Butcher getting mad at people saying Harry is his self insert, saying it’s actually Butters, then giving Butters two hot girlfriends, a lightsaber, and a rocket skateboard.
