Wanting his friends alive and together, Z gone and all the people he killed restored and Bonaparte's ring off Adalind's finger (btw, I'm pretty sure the only reason for the business about the ring was to send the audience a signal that Nick wasn't just hallucinating the ending), none of these strike me as thoughts Nick wouldn't be aware of at that moment. But if the staff is thought-directed, one would hope it has the ability to distinguish between its owner's conscious and subconscious. Because most of us have some pretty scary things in our subconscious from time to time.
I view it more as the staff picking up Nick's innermost desire. It gives him the thing he wants the most at the moment instead of just crafting every single thing he wants. That's why Bud's wife's pies didn't appear at the end although I consider that a plothole.
I agree
