Table seems to have an error.You lose 500 XP per level [fort DC 15 for ½] if the thing gets broken / year and day replacement  delay, Repay all gold costs. This is the sort of balance the Deck of many things brings to the game.3 /lights spells & 1 bonus cantrip [save DC always 10]set when staff is imbued, per day.Attacks with staff can deliver touch spells [like unarmed striking with a touch spell] You can enchant your own staff as a DMG staff at 20% mark upStaff gets ‘effective’ enhancement bonuses when you wield it starting at third, slowly goes up.You can see through the staff starting at 5th [seems to be setting up wizard to have their staff stolen for plot.]Eventually you can repair it by giving it your “resting“ healing [1 per level per evening, heal skill no help]Later on you will always know where your staff is. [really setting up for re-capture the staff scenarios]Before you go epic you will be able to teleport your staff to hand from anywhere on the plane.Sample Feats [each separate, costs are 1 time] 500 gp & 12 hours to prep staff.  Add your WIS modifier when casting defensively[until your next action].[you also keep dex mod]5th level char, 100 gp per spell level & 24 hours. Staff grants you a 1/day standard action, spell like ability[your normal DC], set when you take the feat.  Spell must be one you “are capable of casting” and one level below you highest level spell slot. [a fixed "Extra slot" that is stilled, silenced & eshcewed]12th level char, craft staff creation feat. Standard action: for each 5 ‘levels of spells’ you expend, restore a charge to your imbued staff you did the 20% markup with.</blockquote>
