It doesn't seem like it would make a caster that much more powerfull since it can normally be taken with any item and still have a normal familiar too. Opinions?

I understand that no one can list the abilities and features of the article, but can someone let me know, generally, how it works? I figure that the imbued staff doesn't grant you the same things that a normal familiar would over the course of levelling up... What kinds of things does it do? Thanks.

However if your staff is lost you loose 500xp per ctr level. There are also a handfull of feats that give additional bonuses, like- wis to AC when casting Defensively sacrifice a spell slot to gain a spell-like-ability 3/day and the ability to recharge your staff if enchanted like normal at a 5to1 ratio
