The Healing Staff (いやしの杖, Iyashi no Tsue?, lit. "Staff of Healing"), Healing Rod (ヒールロッド, Hīru Roddo?), Healer's Staff (キュアスタッフ, Kyua Sutaffu?), also known as Cure Staff or Heal Rod, is a recurring weapon in the series. Unlike the majority of weapons, the Healing Staff does not inflict damage unless used on undead enemies, and instead heals a moderate amount of HP to the target. 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.
