If you’re the battlemage, your staff gets an additional melee characteristic based on what wand is imbued in it. For some wands (fireblast, lightning, frost) this is basically identical to an enchantment. But you’re also allowed to use a stone or scroll of enchantment to enchant your staff just like any other melee weapon. So you could in theory have a staff that’s essentially both shocking and blazing, for instance.
Having just finished a sniper game where I had a single +3 shuriken and a single +2 kunai, being able to upgrade a stack would certainly have been a nice change.
