Just differentiate between a magic staff and a quarterstaff. One looks more combat-oriented and is wielded differently. It can fall under the category of blunt weapon. The other acts like a second loaded spell that doesn't drain your magicka when used. It's really the difference of enchanting a weapon with touch/target effects.
For that matter, why can't I enchant a sword with an on target effect? Point it at someone and a fireball comes shooting down the blade. That seems like the ultimate Battlemage and ironically, Spellsword, weapon.
