Final Fantasy V description

The Sage's Staff (賢者の杖, Kenja no Tsue?), also known as Staff of the Magi, Magi Staff, and Life, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It's often among the stronger weapons for magic users, and usually boosts the Holy element and White Magic. Its counterpart is the Wizard's Staff.

Etymology[]

[view · edit · purge]A sage in classical philosophy is someone who has attained the wisdom which a philosopher seeks.

[view · edit · purge]In Latin, Magi is plural of Magus, which means "wizard". Magi is also a term used since at least the 4th century BC to denote followers of Zoroaster, or rather, followers of what the Hellenistic world associated Zoroaster with, which was—in the main—the ability to read the stars, and manipulate the fate that the stars foretold.
