So my GF and I have been trying to make a Child of Acavna and Amaznen for PFS, and we thought it'd be cool to have it fight like Gandalf - But I can't seem to find anything stating what kind of weapon a double weapon (like a quarterstaff) is when used one-handed. Is my search-fu weak again or is this buried somewhere deeper than Moria?
You can't use them one handed. They are two-handed weapons.

Quarterstaff Master (Combat)
You can wield a quarterstaff as either a two-handed or one-handed weapon.Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (quarterstaff), base attack bonus +5.
Benefit: By employing a number of different stances and techniques, you can wield a quarterstaff as a one-handed weapon. At the start of your turn, you decide whether or not you are going to wield the quarterstaff as a one-handed or two-handed weapon. When you wield it as a one-handed weapon, your other hand is free, and you cannot use the staff as a double weapon. You can take the feat Weapon Specialization in the quarterstaff even if you have no levels in fighter.
Just to note; you cannot use a double weapon as a double weapon without using it with two hands.
Double Weapons: Dire flails, dwarven urgroshes, gnome hooked hammers, orc double axes, quarterstaves, and two-bladed swords are double weapons. A character can fight with both ends of a double weapon as if fighting with two weapons, but he incurs all the normal attack penalties associated with two-weapon combat, just as though the character were wielding a one-handed weapon and a light weapon.
The character can also choose to use a double weapon two-handed, attacking with only one end of it. A creature wielding a double weapon in one hand can't use it as a double weapon—only one end of the weapon can be used in any given round.
probably not... What exactly do you have in mind?
If you're carrying it I would say that you can use those types of abilities.
