I've seen this topic discussed elsewhere, but I haven't seen a consensus... and as the remaster hasn't exactly clarified it... here we go.
1. What happens if your Makeshift staff is destroyed or lost? Can you make a new one?
2. If you craft your staff into a specific magic staff and want to change it later, can you?
In regards to question 2, by raw I think the an answer is yes... but it doesn't feel right.
In short, upgrading it (if it's upgradable) is easy. It's changing the staff thats an issue.
Do you keep the magical staff you originally crafted and make a new one? By a strict reading, the answer seems to be no. You would pay all the costs of the new staff, losing all the resources you originally used to craft the initial staff.
This... feels super limiting unless your character is flush with gold or refrains from taking advantage of this feature until they can craft the staff they really want.
Especially as the only staff most wizards could afford to make early on is a Staff of fire.
