Staves will not increase damage. They have a set amount of damage that they deal, pending the staff as they vary, in type and power. They are primarily used when a Mage runs out of magicka. However, anyone can pick up a staff and use it. The amount of usage you get form it depends on the associated skill level of the player.
If a player has a high Destruction skill and a low Conjuration skill. They will get more uses from a fully charged staff of Destruction ( Staff of Flames ) than a Conjuration staff ( Staff of the Familiar).
