Hmmm so
further investigation has revealed that the restoration staff drains enemy health and gives you magicka, which is handy.
As for the deconstructing thing - I'm guessing it gets better as you level up the skill line. One of the passive abilities says something about 'extracting materials' but I'm not sure if that means 'via deconstruction' or just 'from raw materials'.
Oh, I def need to study that page! Thank you so much!

Jerric just got Rushed Ceremony from the Templar Restoring Light skill line. He has a Restoration staff but he's using Rushed Ceremony on his active bar to heal himself and the occasional hurt random person. It makes a huge difference in combat.
I had the opportunity to choose this on my last level up and didn't know enough about it so didn't, but I just got an extra skill point from the skyshards; I'm really going to explore the options before using it because I can morph some of my spells too.
I did hot key some healing potions and actually remembered to use them in combat - they were surprisingly effective! It is remembering to use them where I fail most.
