I'm working on a mage character, and I've decided to use the UA variant of Domain Wizard (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#wizardVariantDomainWiz ard). The Storm Domain appealled to me more than any other, and I decided to just make a slightly Storm themed character. So, I'm playing an Air Gnome (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/elementalRacialVariants.htm#racesOfAir) Wizard with the Storm Domain, and I'm thinking about taking the Spelltouched feat Conductivity (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/spelltouchedFeats.htm#conductivity). Obviously it's not that great a feat, but I'm also taking a couple of flaws to balance it out.
Anyway, them whole point of this is to explain that I decided my Wizard should have a cool staff, and, being only level 6 (bummer) I don't really have the cash to blow on an actualy magic staff from the DMG (I think there might even be a storm staff in the MIC). So, I checked out both Imbued Staff (it's not OGC, you'll have to Google it if you don't have the appropriate book [MIC I think]) and the Item Familiar (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/itemFamiliars.htm) feat.
The actual question I have for you fine folks is this: is there anyway to combine my Imbued Staff and my Item Familiar into the same staff cheaply? Would you count the +1 enhancement bonus given to the owner of the Imbued Staff as making it a permanent magical item? The 3/day Light spell? Would it be worth it to actually buy a +1 Quarterstaff and then Imbue it so it could qualify for Item Familiar?
EDIT: A 6th level character starts with 13,000 gp. And I can spend up to 6,500 gp on a single item, probably the staff if necessary.
Any other suggestions to go with either the Imbued Staff/Item Familiar or the Storm theme? Thanks in advance.
