Brand on a Staff?

Can a wizard have a staff that is also a Brand?

ITL 158 says Brand may be created on stick of wood about 2' long. It also says anyone with 7-Hex Fire spell may create the Brand at the cost of 4 ST.

I see no reason a small sized wooden staff couldn't be a brand. But layering magic item creation on top of magic item creation usually comes at a cost. I know Staff spells and Brand creation in this case are even lesser than lesser magic item creation. It would do torch damage if used as a club or staff damage if use for the occult attack. If the fire is put out, then it still retains the Staff enchantment.

I was just going to allow it, but wanted to see if anyone had a reason that this shouldn't allowed or have extra costs or restrictions that I just did not think about.
