Melee Mage Spec

I’ve been thinking of cool ways to change up classes and I pulled up a mage I made and wondered to myself, why isn’t there a Melee spec for mage? I always saw people in classic with dagger or even swords that give good bonuses, so why not make a mage spec that scales Melee DMG with INT??? I think it could be super cool basically and that’s all. I also wanna know why yall wouldn’t want this.

I had a build idea for a dexy draconic sorcerer, jumping around, slow falling into fights. I get into my first battle with a scorpion, point my finger at it and cast…

TRUE STRIKE!!!

Scorpions turn, hits me his stinger, crits me, I die.
