int/adv magic power

A Staff doesn't actually increase damage until an actual elemental charge would be applied. Elemental wands give a passive boost in addition to any upgrades/enchants/Magic damage/masteries. Staves on the other hand increases damage of the same element, meaning charging the staff with firebolt increases fire magic damage...at least that's what I got from it. I mean if anything, a staff would be more efficient for damage, I could be wrong. If it sounds like I'm talking nonsense, it probably because I lack magic knowledge D:

Oh right, I forgot about elemental attributes that staves can gain.
