Magus's Staff
A conduit of will, turning thought into reality through ancient enchantment.
In The Ancient Magus' Bride, a magus's staff serves as a tool for focusing and channeling magical energy. While the source does not provide extensive detail on staves in general, it notes that Elias Ainsworth is known as the "Thorn Mage" and can summon and control thorns, suggesting his magic is channeled through his own abilities rather than a staff. Chise Hatori, as a Sleigh Beggy, draws magic from her surroundings and within herself, and she practices sleep magic, but no staff is mentioned as her focus. The source does not describe a staff as a universal or essential tool for all mages.
