Guard Stick
This staff is magic-focused, and not particularly balanced. Chances are you won't use this once you've unlocked some of the others, but it's useful in the early game until you get the Arcane Scepter.
- This is Aerith's starting weapon.
- Weapon Ability: Arcane Wand — Conjure a ward. Attack spells cast within the ward will be automatically cast twice.
