The rune staff is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest franchise. First appearing in the 16-bit remake of the third game, it was a one-handed wand that could save casters a large amount of MP by duplicating the effect of the Kabuff spell for them. As of the tenth game, the rune staff has become a two-handed wand that can paralyze a foe when striking.
The staff is notable for changing designs frequently, starting off as a gnarled wood cane before changing into a thin metal staff with an Egyptian eye motif as its cap, before settling on a mace-like design for Dragon Quest X.
