This staff was created under a single guiding principle--by wizards, for wizards.
Final Fantasy All the Bravest description
High Mage's Staff (魔導師のつえ, Madōshi no Tsue?, lit. Wizard Staff) is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series associated with Vivi Ornitier.
This weapon's Japanese name is pronounced the same as the Wizard's Staff. 魔導師 (madōshi?) is a Japanese word that refers to a user of magic, however, in the Final Fantasy series the mages are usually referred to as 魔道士 (madōshi?), which is intentionally pronounced the same but uses different kanji. The two weapons technically mean the same thing, so the inclusion of "High" in this weapon's name product of the localization to distinguish it and reflect that it is stronger than the other similarly named staff.
