Specific weapons and armor vs magic staves

[Joey Cote]

There is a section that says that specific magic armor and weapons cannot have property runes added to them but may have potency runes added. In the section on staves (such as staff of fire, healing, etc not a regular staff) it says the staff is expert quality and can have runes added as normal. Potency runes absolutely can be added to these staves, but I wonder if the property runes can be? What exactly is a "specific" weapon/armor becomes the question.

I think for rune purposes a magic staff is just an expert staff. A specific weapon is something like the Bloodletting Kukri or Sky Hammer.

That is what most of my group thinks as well, but it is something that could use clarification, I can certainly see an argument being made for it working the other way.
