I mean either way they are NOT fine, as you say.

Its on obvious disadvantage over spelledge weapons that you can even two-hand, to the point that in reality you do not use tomes unless the tome itself has an desireable effect/potential...Or you just think its cool.

If we change how the papers work, or if we add parts to them...doesn't matter, they are inferior to weapons, I do not think it would make the weapon overpowered just because a basic attack possibly has a chance of landing now, because material/Parts actually help with it the same way weapons do.
