Skill bump items aren't quite the same as the DC bump he's looking for, but are probably a good guideline for price purposes.  Normally, the way you'd bump the DC would either be by effectively bumping Wisdom for the caster, for purposes of that casting only, or by Heightening the spell by 2 levels.Neither of those is a very good fit to the normal structure for Staff powers.  Closer to something you'd find in a limited Rod.As a general caution, however:  The books suggest that pricing custom items be done based on the resultant power, not necessarily by strict application of the formula.  Otherwise, an always-active Glove of True Strike that affected any weapon held would be a mere 2,000 gp, and everybody worth mentioning would have one.</blockquote>
