Can one hold onto a two-handed weapon and plant a battle standard? What about draw something, say a potion (or what have you). I'm thinking, no.
Has this been clarified regarding Swordmage Warding?
By the sound of it, you could just hold a greatsword in one hand, Wield it 2handed as a free action and make an attack, and then drop it back wielding it in one hand, effectively keeping your Warding to +3 AC.
I wouldn't do this kind of cheese, nor would I allow it, but it would be interesting to hear what prohibits it by RAW or RAI.
If you hate taking OAs and providing your allies with flanking, yeah, you could do that. A better choice would be to use a bastard sword. Hit two-handed for the extra +1 damage on your turn (and try not to provoke an OA or trigger an Interrupt while you're doing it since you're down 3AC), wield it one handed between turns, losing the +1 damage on OAs, but getting back the +3 AC.By the sound of it, you could just hold a greatsword in one hand, Wield it 2handed as a free action and make an attack, and then drop it back wielding it in one hand, effectively keeping your Warding to +3 AC.

Wouldn't work, you're Holding, not Wielding it when a 2h is in 1h. You can still use it as an Implement though, because Implements only need to be Held, not Wielded (which is why you can use a Staff 1-handed as an Implement).Has this been clarified regarding Swordmage Warding?
