If I get the souls siphon enchanting perk - "Death blows to creatures, but not people, trap 5% of the victims soul, recharging the weapon.", will that recharge my staff when I fire a spell from it that kills a monster?

My head says yes, my gut says no. We can't enchant our own staves (again), so one failure likely follows another...

I thought it was confirmed that we could enchant our own staves?

That guy was mistaken as far as I can tell. Here are the possible weapon enchantments:

Absorb Health - Absord # Health.
Absrb Magicka - Absorb # Magicka.
Absorb Stamina - Absorb # Stamina.
Banish - Banishes Summoned Daedra below level #.
Fear - Creatures below level # flee for 30s.
Fire Damage - +# Fire Damage.
Frost Damage - +# Frost Damage.
Magicka Damage - +# Magicka Damage.
Paralyze - Paralyze creatures below level #.
Shock Damage - +# Shock Damage.
Soul Trap - Soul traps creatures that die within # seconds.
Stamina Damage - +# magicka damage.
Turn Undead - Undead beow level # flee for 30s.

No light spell in that list. We know from the demo that light staves exist. Hence, no enchanting staves, and once again no cast on use enchantments.

bump.

I now have this daedric artifact staff that I might be interested in using IF I could recharge it that way.

I haven't ever seen an unenchanted staff, and the official strategy guide says that staves cannot be enchanted, so I'd say that's confirmation that they cannot be.

Yeah, it's pretty clear that staff enchanting didn't make it.

But, can staves be recharged by the same perk that recharges other charged weapons?
