Alternatively it could give access to the Inflame class skill of the Warpriest PrC (Complete Warrior iirc). User may not speak out against his/her own alignment/diety.4- Hmm, hard one, perhaps a +X competence bonus to x numbers of skill checks/day. Since this is supposed to be some kind of guidance tool add that the actions concerned must be in line with users alignment.5- User has no need for food or water, you could even take this further and have it also act as an Endure Elements spell.*Mental Discipline6- +X sacred bonus on ability check x/day, actions must be in accordance with alignment.7- Acts as the Alertness feat. A more powerful alternative, acts as a constant alarm spell centered on the staff, can be activated as a free action at will. Or perhaps, for a really powerful one, X/day cast Mordeknkainen's Faithful Hound.8- Acts as a Protection from opposite alignment spell for the purposes of determining the effects of Spells, i.e. immune to mind affecting and enchantment effects, etc.Now this is a very powerful item but it is supposed to be a McGuffin so I did not reign myself in too much If you like you could even make the staff intelligent and have it decide when and how it's powers will be used on behalf of the User. If it is supposed to be a Holy Relic of some sort make it have a LG alignment and RP it as some sort of wise, sagely monk.</blockquote>
