A staff made from cypress. It holds a special power where it has a chance of confusing those it strikes. Cypress holds stronger magic power compared to other woods, and is sought after as the perfect medium to use for mid-tier mages. To some it may look like a stick, but the shape, length, form, and the well-balanced magic power it holds makes it perfect for mages to use as a means to tap into their magic powers.
