Healing Staff

The Healing Staff , also known as Cure Staff, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. Unlike the majority of weapons, the Healing Staff does not inflict damage unless attacking undead enemies, and instead heals a moderate amount of HP to the target. It is similar to the Healing Rod.
The effect of the heal is usually equal to the White Magic spell Cura, and it is usually found around one-fourth to halfway through a game. It also, instead of relying on the character's Attack stat, relies on the Magic stat for the healing portion of the weapon.
