It is always easier to begin with a pre-made sword (usually a normal version of the sword type you would like) and then add properties accordingly. Trying to make a sword from scratch involves too many variables: do you use 50/50/0 for sword animation or 33/33/33? what should the ground icon be? Those kinds of questions.
For adding spells to items, start by looking at items that already have spells on them; I would suggest either the Wand of Fire or Wand of Armory (they both have 2 effects) and then make the staff like that.
