Staves

Staves are like the supportive sibling weaponry to Rods.  There are very few of them, but they can carry some unique and potent effects.  They are used by White Mages, Time Mages, Red Mages, and Chemists
Staves more or less function identically to magic in terms of damage formula, except when they don't, which is actually more often than not.  Just understand that unless I say otherwise, the staves act as though you were casting a spell on the enemy, with a Spell Power equal to the weapon's attack power.
