The rules on staves are clear on DC, Range, Duration that if the players level exceeds CL8 of the staff that you use the casters level.
We are discussing if the amount of damage done is also based on the players caster level, would a level 10 wizard using a staff of Fire create 8D6 fireballs or 10D6 fireballs when expending two charges from the staff of fire?
"Not only are aspects of the spell dependent on caster level (range, duration, and so on) potentially higher, but spells from a staff are also harder to dispel and have a better chance of overcoming spell resistance."
Does the ...and so on.... mean damage effects as well?
