able to perceive or feel things.
Sentience does not mean thinking, it means feeling. It does not mean talking, it means reacting. There are many sentient objects in lore, including soulstones. They do not communicate directly, but they are able to influence their world around them via other types of reaction to stimuli. I do not think it far-fetched at all that your staff can display sentience.
For those who are curious, the word that refers to the ability to know and to judge is sapient. (sapience). Feeling/experiencing vs knowing/judging. Reasoning is something else entirely, but both terms are often used interchangeably in place of reason.
