The '''Somatic Staff''' (also called '''Staff of Force''') is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. It drains the wielder's MP while attacking.
{{quote|style=1|quote='''''Ah, there's a fair bit ye could say about this staff, so there is. It turns magic power into physical power, see. 'Tis a grand tool if yer magic's been sealed by a monster or suchlike. '''''|source=Torneko, when he appraises the somatic staff|console=|align=center|bgcolor=e5a0f2}}
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.
