My understanding is that what we call amps were originally intended to be the cestus or boxing glove of Ryzom, and that staffs were to be the spell casting assistance item.
The only problem with using amps for boxing is "wasting" mats to make a melee weapon amp (not gonna use sup zun for that one) and the fact that the speed and damage stats don't seem to actually do something.
The cestus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cestus is basically an improved set of brass knuckles.
With the skill that our art folk have shown, I think it could be made. The trick would be to work it into the crafting system and the combat system.
