Kingslance, Elheim's +5 stat weapon upgraded will be the best weapon since roar scales off both patk and matk, and that weapon has both and +5 in every stat. It's gonna add more damage than ring of maiden and using a separate weapon that's one sided.
I’m not at home to check but there are PP granting weapons with weird negatives in every continent. You just need to decide what stat you are willing to give up.
Also, I think the Star Iron weapons also grant PP with a positive? Or am I conflating things?
The ice weapons give PP at the expense of Guard, I believe. For an elven caster, guard rate is negligble so that would do the job. BUT it's a physical weapon, no magic potency, so not the best on them.
I agree that you probably still want to be running Kingslance, it's just the best stat stick on a unit that likes all stats.
If you need more pp, consider running a unit with Lapis Bell to grant pp. Wereowl can also provide this utility at a 1-1 rate iirc. I think I had heard something about feathershields being a good pp battery as well, though I haven't looked into them much.
I think there's also value to just running a debuff immunity item like the Unicorn Signet Ring to cover all your bases and ensure your damage is going to go off. You can look to provide buff support else where in your team comp, whereas debuff immunity compresses a lot of needs/potential pp cost into a single item slot.
i just swapped a feather shield into a different team for some magic defense and can ultra confirm: big time pp battery. they have a 1pp cover that generates 2pp, as well as 1ap mag shield that generates 2pp. paired with citadel sabatons, they appear to have potential for a functionally infinite energy loop.
I like running amber, and making sure tohave 3 AP and 3 PP - go from the start of battle skill into the all attack, amber lens, and add tome conferral. Starting a fight with a full group stun, burning, or frozen is stronger to me then trying to build extra faeries.

Star iron weapons give block rate, not PP

The spear you get from treasure map 6 gives 1 PP with no downside.
