What does that even mean? The regular GURPS magic system is a poor match for any fictional magic anyway. At any rate a GURPS mage doesn't "Cast magic through his staff", the staff merely acts as a touch/reach extension. Dedicated and Exclusive Powerstones only power spells that are enchanted into the item. A mage can use normal Powerstones connected to a staff to cast any spell.
