I think a really cool idea for a weapon would be a cross beteen a staff/spear and a guillotine/other spear.

What I'm thinking is this: The weapon itself is a tall staff approximately shoulder-height. Near the top of the staff (which is otherwise straight and metallic and I think would look cool in a pale orange) the staff curves outward and back inward. (so it looks like the bottom portion of a gallows). In this new groove that is part of the staff, either A.) The groove contains a blade that shoots out from the rest of the staff, acting as a guillotine or B.) The groove is there only to make room for the target, and the pole itself stabs a spike into whatever is inside that groove. The bottom of the staff could also be a spear (like Pyrrha's) attached to a chain that launches out at a target and is automatically returned to the weapon. It can also just be used to stab things normally.

The staff itself would function much like Glynda's wand, and would be another source of long range attacks.

It would be a relatively simple 4-in-1 weapon. (Spear, Harpoon, Guillotine, and a source of Magic/Dust)
