Mage Staff FFIX — Mage Staff in *Final Fantasy IX*.

For the other staff often officially translated "Mage's Staff", see Mage's Staff

For the rod sometimes officially translated "Wizard's Staff", see Wizard Rod

For the staff in Final Fantasy XII, see Wizard's Staff (Final Fantasy XII)

For the staff in Final Fantasy Record Keeper, see Final Fantasy Record Keeper weapons/Staves § Wizard's Staff (XII)

A staff imbued with magic that allows its owner to cast fire. There are many beasts who instinctually fear flames, regardless of their elemental affinity. Thus, it is essential for a mage to be able to cast fire in battle. However, the results this weapon yields fluctuate greatly depending on its user, making the wizard's staff only as reliable as rudimentary magic.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius description

The Wizard's Staff (魔道士の杖, Madōshi no Tsue?), also known as the Mage Staff, High Mage Staff, and Mage's Staff, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series.

This weapon's Japanese name is pronounced the same as the High Mage's Staff. 魔道士 (madōshi?) is the normal Japanese name given to mages in Final Fantasy, however that is derived from an actual Japanese word meaning magic user, 魔導師 (madōshi?), using different kanji that are still read the same.

Given that this uses the same word for Mages, a more appropriate localization for this weapon would be "Mage('s) Staff".

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Wizard is another name for a Magician. Wizards in fantasy literature and RPGs often draw from the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, whose Wizards of Middle-earth are a group of beings outwardly resembling Men but possessing much greater physical and mental power. Each Wizard has robes of a characteristic color, Gandalf the Grey being a quintessential example.
