The limitations depend on my skills. I think that if I assumed I would be able to Conjure more than three staves but vowed not to, that would make me one of the finest Nen users in the world. I'm assuming, like you did, I'm a mid-to-high-level pro. The only two limitations that do not depend on my skills are number 2 and 7, but, as I said, I see them more as "absolute rules" rather than "if I don't do it, then something bad will happen": Rypper Cyclotron and Pain Packer work this way, and they are crazy strong. Unless I choose a very severe backlash such as death, the fact that I can break this rules would actually allow me to power up at some point and pay a small price later. Gon became so strong, but he would have died without Nanika. Besides, I know yours was just a random example, but such a Limitation is pointless: knowing what it would lead to, I would never try to Conjure another staff.

With rule 4 I meant that, since the staff would be very far from me after I throw it, I would be unable to recover and manipulate it without getting closer. This means I can't use it to stab the enemy in the back while he is turned towards me. Perhaps I should cancel the first part, though.
