Mostly, I understood it this way because longsword proficiency is a prerequisite for the WotST paragon path, and you must be proficient with a weapon to gain the proficiency bonus (PHB p. 219). Otherwise, it seems like you're just carrying around an oversized implement. Further, there are two...

Right, I gathered as much. I also don't like the idea of carrying around a longsword and using it like an oversized wand. My thought was to be a bit more effective when using the longsword as a sword (as circs demand), and maybe more effective generally--or in flavor text terms, achieve that...
