At first glance, your build seems to be pretty straight forward...I'm still learning about electronics so my information there is limited, but from what I've learned, most of the sounds boards could handle double Tri LEDs (although personally I'd just make a pair of hilts so I could have a staff & duel weild as well), it's just a matter of wiring them properly & making sure you get the proper resistors wired in place (I would recommend a buckpuck for this). The other issue is the power source, maintaining 2 tri LEDs would draw quite a bit of power so you want to make sure you have a battery that can handle this & last a decent amount of time (again my experience in this is pretty limited so I'll defer to somone a bit more knowledgeable).
Where I can probably lend the most help is the actual construction of the hilt...
I would suggest using the MHS Builder on the main store page to play around with the parts there & get a general idea of what you want your staff to look like once you're done. The MHS Builder doesn't have all the parts available in the store, but it has most of them & you can at least get a basic idea of what you're looking for. Getting a concept down "on paper" (so to speak) so that you can see a physical representaion of your hilt will also help give you a better idea on how to lay out your electronics as well.
Hopefully this helps get you started until someone with a bit more electronics experience can give you some better direction on your internals.
