Wizard's Staff

The Wizard's Staff , also known as the Mage Staff, High Mage Staff, and Mage's Staff, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series.
This weapon's Japanese name is pronounced the same as the High Mage's Staff. is the normal Japanese name given to mages in Final Fantasy, however that is derived from an actual Japanese word meaning magic user, , using different kanji that are still read the same.
Given that this uses the same word for Mages, a more appropriate localization for this weapon would be "Mage('s) Staff".
