Top 3 Staff Designs (Lizzie)

While some may say the staff is merely an overgrown wand or a weapon missing a blade, nothing could be further from the truth. Why it's very length (maligned by some as a waste of wood) makes a bold statement about the bearer and adds tremendous usefulness unavailable in the wand. While both wand and staff have their places, one should never dismiss the staff to the umbrella stand with the hiking sticks.

Top 3 Staff Designs

1. The Scepter Staff

This elegant staff, the traditional choice of royalty--or the ambitious--due to its resemblance to a scepter, comes topped with a polished sphere sure to capture attention. The lovely ornamental topper is available in a variety of colors--to match your eyes or the colors of your kingdom--and can be made to glow with the slightest use of magic. The smoothness of the sphere also makes this design a comfortable resting place for pets or feathered servants.

2. The Wanderer Staff

When you have places to go, nothing could be better than the durable Wanderer Staff. With a comfortable, polished grip and a decoratively rustic topper, this is the choice for those who love a good adventure. Walking stick, fighting staff, or magic-conductor, this is the choice of the wizards the world relies on.
