spears are a great weapon, good at distance in melee for giving you room to breath, and provide a good offense and defense, but their flaw is in close combat...

once your enemy has closed the distance or you get pinned.... your S.O.L.

but while we are talking about this.... incorporating a spear and a battlestaff would not be a bad idea, especially one handed

making use of one handed skill tree, and destruction

your weakness in close combat could be mitigated by a sword or dagger and you choosen mage spell can replace your jump (because honestly, how the hell are you going to jump with a spear!)
