A key thing, though, is that now AMF is available  the great caster bane (for 1,650 per use). You can cast it from a scroll at currently +18 UMD, meaning to hit DC 31 required in combat you have a 40% chance. Well, Giacomo, you may say  this is not yet a reliable tactics when fighting casters, so you can only use it with some further boosts at 100% success in lvls 19 or 20? NOT SO FAST MY FRIENDS...

Here is the kicker:

Among 6th level spells, there is also the possibility to turn your monk staff into a spellstaff from the druid list. You can store an AMF into it between your adventuring times without any problem (just repeat UMD until it works). Congratulations. You can now cast AMF once/day.

Well, to be honest...the wording of the spellstaff spell shows it was never intended to be used by a non-caster, so check with your DM whether he allows it. But the wording in RAW is quite clear imo. If spellcasters can get around buying a permanent item with a 1/day spell use, why not a non-spellcaster? Would not make sense to me.

Note, though, that it costs you 3,300 gp still and can be dispelled any time. On the flipside, you can actually store ANY spell into that staff, also at high-level play things like time stop, plus you can also use rods of metagmagic to, say, quicken any spell...divine power anyone?...
