Telekinesis (spell books can be bought) can also be used to get items that become stuck in walls, as long as the default action is to pick up (so would not work for a dropped letter). It is more likely the ceremonial staff just dropped behind the central wall or stairs and is hidden from sight than it is stuck in a wall, though.
trust me...you can't always use Telekinesis...I tried it for about 2 hours with with the staff that josie dropped in the wall...
the best thing you can do is load a previous savegame and play the scene again or better yet start over the whole game... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
