Poke the obviously trapped part with the staff.

+1, from a safe distance. Hold one end, poke it with another.

Examine staff menu. See if it does anything.

Well, I suspect one advantage of a staff over unarmed (besides range) is that a staff is an item. You can fuse it with a fusion scroll or enchant it like we did the spear. We'd probably have to chop off our hands and feet to do anything like that to them, and we'd still need a way to reattach them afterwards.

...and I am now imagining Ciro using blood control and a badly-sewn-on flaming fist to execute a Rocket Punch... Knowing Bay12, this is a possibility...

You can say that about anything. What idiot would enchant a staff that does as much damage as a fist?

-1, it makes much more sense to try making a blood prosthetic and enchant that.
Mainly because of the insanity of the original idea.

Well, besides the fact that an enchantment might improve the damage rate, you can't enchant your fists to grant additional properties. For instance, in the first Final Fantasy game, there were weapons that, while crappy, could cast spells when "used" as an item... an unlimited number of times.

And as every Morrowind player knows, Enchant can be hilarious.

Why not enchant a useful weapon?

if you enchant something useless you can get a 1 and nothing important will happen

if you roll a 1 on already useful stuff you're fucked because the enchantment will kill your family and kidnap your dog

real simple stuff

So...enchanting a useless weapon is good, because it definitely won't do anything bad, although it won't do anything for you either?

Well the purpose of enchanting an item is to make it better, no? Unless you're enchanting it to be lukewarm all the time or something.

So at the least, it might be good for practice.

Why would you enchant something bad to make it good, when you could enchant something good to make it better?

you appear to be critically forgetting the game you are in

if we make something good better then the things we wanted to use the good thing on will scale to the better thing's level

and then we lose the better thing in a llama accident

shit, do it if you want to, i'll get another plane to point and laugh at your lichensteindom from

Because presumably there is a cap to just how much enchantment anything can have.
Slap healing on your nice weapon, it's ok.
Slap healing on your shit weapon and +1 edge of fuck-everything-up-ness on your nice weapon, it's great.
