The '''staff of antimagic''' is a recurring {{Wand}} in the {{Main Series}} franchise.

It casts [[Fizzle]] when used as a tool in battle, saving the user {{MP}}. As of the tenth game, the staff has been reclassified as a [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|two-handed wand]].

==Characteristics==
This staff has had two distinct appearances throughout the series' history. The first and most well-known design consists of a long wooden staff topped with the image of a priest of Hell, which has a distinctive skeletal head with fangs and wears an ornate vermilion headpiece and mantle, decorated with gold and various blue gemstones.

This design debuted in {{IV}} and eventually returning in {{X}}. The base of the staff ends in a hoop containing a vermilion orb and another blue gem.

The second design of the staff, which appears exclusively in {{VIII}}, is a wooden staff topped with a curved crescent-shaped design containing a small red jewel in the middle. Various red, pink, and green accents and grooves are carved all over the staff.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The staff of antimagic has an {{Attack}} bonus of +20 and can be equipped by [[Mage]]s, [[Priest]]s, and [[Sage]]s. It was introduced in the remakes. In the [[Super Famicom]] and {{Game Boy Color}} versions of the game, the staff can be purchased from a shop in the second {{T'n'T}} track for 3,300 {{Gold}} and sold for 2,475 {{Gold}} coins. One can be found in [[Portoga]] castle, which is the only one that can be found in smartphone versions of the game.
