Brand on a Staff?

Yes, Light spell is better than Brand when looking for light alone. No risk to losing the staff (although, putting out a Brand won't happen often). But the Brand has the upside of being able to light things: molotails, petards, grenades, pipes, campfire kindling, etc.

True. Everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Per ITL, many GMs allow not-so-normal staves. So, if a Wizard has a silver sword as his staff and wants to make it a brand, I hope that it has a handle that doesn't get too hot or gets consumed. LOL! No matter how you slice it, making a wizard's staff into a brand can work but probably isn't practical.
