The Staff of antimagic is a recurring Wand in the Dragon Quest 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 two-handed wand.
Characteristics[edit]
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.
