A staff---er, umbrella that repels magic. It was made as a gag, but turned out to be pretty useful.

Appearances
Final Fantasy VII
Template:Sideicon The Umbrella (Parasol in the BradyGames guide) first appears as a staff for Aeris. It can be won at the Gold Saucer on disc 1 by scoring at least 5,000 points in the Speed Square. It provides 58 attack, 118 Hit Rate, 10 Magic, and +20 Vitality, but has no Materia slots. It is unique in that the player can only obtain it once. It must be obtained before the end of disc 1 or the player will miss it. Umbrella is one of only three weapons that give the player a Critical% rate of +5, which is the highest possible increase.
Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
