Assume that I'm a wizard, with both

Polearm MasterThe Polearm Master feat (PHB, p. 168) says:

While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, quarterstaff or spear, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter the reach you have with that weapon.

and War CasterThe War Caster feat (PHB, p. 170) says:

When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

Assume that I'm a wizard, with both Polearm Master and War Caster, and I'm holding a staff of power (It's basicallyit's a magic quarterstaff).
