I thought about that too, but it seems that the DEX & WIS drains have too low a percent chance to fire, and when they do, they wear off too quickly. Especially when the only reliable way to get Arkanis to sit still long enough to hit him multiple times is via Time Stop, so (since Sorcerers can't use those weapons) requires a Thief->Mage or Fighter->Mage, which means Chapter 7.
It might not be a bad idea to suggest Weimer upgrades for these items, as well as for the Answerer+4. (Smack one of your party members with the Answerer and see how long it takes for the "Magic Resistance Lowered" icon to disappear--about 1 round, that's how long.)
