TFT is arguably the best game anyone ever wrote for integrating spell casting into the turn-by-turn flow of tactical combat: Wizards have dozens of ways to get involved in melees, all spelled out in gritty detail in the rules. Because of this, I don't think there is a need to 'weaponize' the staff more than is already in the standard rules. For that reason, I can see why the staff might be the focus of new rules to expand reserves of spell casting strength, but I would not imbue it with other combat-focused powers.
