Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Staves compared to wands are terrible.

Don't see why its not possible, you can alter the damage type of weapons.

So if you want, you CAN create (in GM mode) a Wand that does Physical Damage.

So if it can be done in GM Mode ... I'm sure it could be easily modded. I'm trying to roll an item that does both magic and physical and seeing how that works. Seeing if I can modify both.

That may help with the idea of creating a Staff that does both Physical and Magical Damage.

EDIT: Magic effects can't be changed in GM mode (outside of raw stats). But at least it IS confirmed that you can change the core damage type, so a Staff that does pure Physical Damage COULD be made. Though it'd still require INT to use (though Modding could probably change that of course).
