You merely state that it scales on stamina. We know that, but that's not the question.
Is it physical or magical damage? Nowhere did you answer that.
"Stamina-based" does not mean physical.
Look at this video just before 3 minutes. Destruction staves are mitigated by spell resist. That strongly implies they are magical damage, despite the weapon-damage being stamina based.

So, now, what type is restoration staff? Is it physical, or is it magical? And if it's magical, is there a particular element?

So if I need an AOE of shield, Magic is called to the front. But to eliminate the foe, Stamina is prevalent in doing so. Sorcerers beware! You need that stamina too!
Anywyas that's how tomorrow morning will open up form me in ESO's Grand Opening! <smile> Have fun ya'll!

If someone empties a big tank of magicka on you, it's going to hurt a lot.
While weapon damage does kill, so do class skills, and there's certainly a crossover point of what to use based on your weapon.
It is interesting to consider that using light/heavy weapon attacks only, an archer can use a staff to far better effect than a mage.
