The magma staff (マグマのつえ Maguma no tsue) is a recurring wand in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. It is often required to progress past a certain point by using it to remove a roadblock. Depending on the game, it will cast either Bang, Boom, or Magma Blast on all enemies when used as a tool in battle.
