They could have it to where the main element the staff is based on is what does the damage and blunt, like dragon's dogma, and could use the two handed skill. Even better is that you should be able to change the spell it replicates. For example, there should be a staff system in daggerfall that has it to where you can change the effect the spell makes, but it costs the equivulent amount of mana you would use for the real spell or even make your mana not charge fully when equipped, and have it to where it either needs recharging, or just simply keep your mana not fully charging and has unlimited mana. then you could hit with the staff like normal and have the element or effect, but by double clicking an enemy, or just clicking, you should have the option. By clicking, you use the staffs power and shoot a bolt of lightning or fire, or with a effect for a light hovering over your head it just turns the staff into a "flashy" torch, and fire should do that anyway. Even without a staff you enchanted you should still be able to double click so you could shoot a physical bolt. Any other suggestions?
