The '''somatic staff''' is a recurring [[Wand Weapon Family|wand]] in the {{DQSeries}}. It has a high attack power, but drains a small amount of the wielder's [[MP]] each time an attack is performed. This makes it ideal to use in places where magic cannot be used or if the spellcaster's magic has been [[Fizzle|sealed]] away.

The ~~Staff of force (Called '''Force~~ staff~~''' in the [[Game Boy|GBC]] Version)~~ has an ~~attack~~ bonus of +55 (+65 in ~~the GBC Version~~)~~. It~~ can be ~~wield~~ by [[~~Priest~~]]s, [[~~Mage~~]]s & [[Sage]]s.

The somatic staff has an {{Attack}} bonus of +55 (+65 in remake versions) and can be equipped by [[Mage]]s, [[Priest]]s, and [[Sage]]s. It consumes 3 MP each time an attack is made. In the original NES version, the con man at the equipment shop in [[Asham|Assaram]] will sell it for '''40,000''' gold, but can be convinced to reduce the price down to 5,000 gold, while it can be purchased in [[Theddon]] for 2,500 gold. It can be sold for 1,875 gold. The staff is the strongest weapon for Mages in all versions except for the GBC version.

* In remake versions of the game, it can only be purchased from [[Baharata]] for 2,500 gold.
