Heavy Wands (両手杖スキル, Ryōte tsue) are a recurring weapon type in the Dragon Quest series. Wands have appeared since Dragon Quest II as the preferred weapon type of spellcasters, but Dragon Quest X is the first game in the series to differentiate between one-handed and two-handed wands. Many of the wands and staves of previous games have been reclassified as heavy wands.
Since they require the usage of both the wielder's hands, they prevent the usage of shields in the offhand. Heavy wands are preferred by the casters of offensive magic such as Mages and Sages, as they maximize the wielder's Magical Might and even allow them to recover MP by striking an enemy, despite their weak attack power. Heavy wands also tend to have a Magical Mending stat as well, though it's usually noticeably lower than its offensive counterpart.
