That is such a great costume! I will go with EL wire (the battery thingy can be hidden in the "gem") for the tubing, maybe wrap it around some celofan to make it glow in a more uniform way and add bulk to the "tube". The staff itself can be made out of a curtain rod (there are cheaper alternatives).
Just spray paint to match your color, wrap the wire around the staff and voila!
Now the tricky part... I suggest cutting and hot-gluing transparent tapper ware and covering it up with this. It may look weird at first but for the light up effect you can either wrap the EL wire in there or get a couple of these or similar items and just hot glue them; look for battery powered lights!!
Now the casing on the other hand is tricky.. I think you could cut up your tapperware in a way that you only cut the empty panels as in photo #2. Use those panels for the gem, and use the remaining plastic to paint it the same tone as the staff and drill a hole underneath it and hot glue it. The details themselves can be made with aluminum foil or the plastic itself, just remember to match your paint color!!
Is that a good rough guide? I am not a very good cosplayer but I have made an iron man arc reactor (mark I) for the avengers movie and a full bane costume (all from scratch) for TDKR. [I was not allowed in the movie unless I removed the mask, the release in my home country was a week later than U.S.)
Hope I was able to help and if you need more ideas let me know! I love LoL "J-J-J-Janna"!!!
