I don't think you can attach an effect to a weapon at all. You could attach it to a unit, though, at the hand that holds the weapon, and position the effect in PE so that it appears on the weapon.

yeah, its a staff, so it wouldn't really work.

Why not use a couple short lightsaber blades and change the textures on them? I think I've seen it done that way before (I'm assuming you're making the MagnaGuard electrostaff).
