Yes. From the SRD...

"A creator can add new magical abilities to a magic item with no restrictions."

...or see page 288 of the DMG.

Thanks

Second, you are not creating a magic item, you are expanding one. Do you have to have the make staff feat, to add a ability to a staff?

I can't find this anywhere.

Thank You,

You don't have to be the creator.

You still have to meet the prerequisites of the item.
