Staff Spell Item Prerequisites

By default, to enchant an item with Staff it must be no longer than 2 yards and made of once-living material.

I have concluded that the once-living requirement serves largely to keep a staff from serving as too good of a weapon (I point my sword at him and cast fireball!), while the length requirement obviously limits how much the staff can benefit distance modifiers.

Given that one can fasten powerstones in a staff, am I right in assuming that some of the staff can be non-living? How much metal would interfere?

I am curious what alterations to these two requirements others have tried and found successful.

I am also curious what unusual items people have enchanted Staff on--the jutte seems valid if it's made of wood, for instance, and it looks like the sodegarami could take it--and how those have worked out.
