    If you plan on spamming the staff then higher spell damage lower magicka (yeah sounds weird but it's how it works).

    10,46 magicka equals 1 spell dmg.

    Difference: 3364 less magicka and 248 more spell dmg or vice versa.

    3364 magicka / 10.46 = 321 spell dmg to break even.
    248 spell dmg * 10,46 = 2594 magicka to break even.

    248 < 321 and 3364 > 2594 so the first option is better

    *If you're talking unbuffed the buffed values would be:
    33705 magicka and 1901 spell dmg
    30341 magicka and 2195 spell dmg

    Difference: 3364 less magicka and 297 more spell dmg or vice versa.
    297 < 321 so still the first option, although the difference gets smaller
