I don't think it means that, just because it has one effect for mortals doesn't mean it has the same effect for immortals. Perhaps it is an effect of MW's ability to unravel magic, in this case it unravels the taint from mortals?

It is possible, but somehow I doubt it. The unraveling that Mother Winter gave Harry came from a piece of knitting that she was doing from yarn that came from her spinning wheel. The symbolism of that was too direct. I just do not see her walking stick having the same power.

I'm not trying to say that her staff is specifically the same as the unravelling she gave to Harry, but that her nature as "The Unmaker, The Destroyer" when it interacts with the black magic taint on humans prevents it from having a lasting impression. I don't know, but the WC at least seems to believe its nature protects Eb. Given that he has had it for quite some time and hasn't turned into a deranged lunatic would suggest that they are right.

While anything is possible, until we see some sign that he is nutso I'll take this as evidence that the WC is correct

When Eb does his "Laying of the Cattle move" at the major battle near the end of Changes, is that a power of the blackstaff?
The Blackstaff is what keeps that kind of thing from driving him insane and turning him into a giggling villain. Yah you don't go messing with black magic in the Dresden Files, it's very very bad for you. At the same time, Magic is something that happens because you truly believe that when you set out to do it that you should be able to do that sort of thing. That says a few things about Eb that really Harry hasn't run into in any other forum other than right there. Yah Poor guy, He's got a tough job.
