About Staff Names
Staff names should evoke arcane power and ancient wisdom. These are the iconic weapons of wizards, druids, and sorcerers—conduits for magical energy that often hold centuries of accumulated power. A staff's name often hints at its magical properties or the legacy of mages who wielded it.
Naming Conventions
Staff names typically combine mystical prefixes (Arcane, Celestial, Void) with evocative suffixes suggesting their function (weave, keeper, whisper). Many staffs are named after their creators, their primary magic school, or celestial bodies they channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good wizard staff name?
Good staff names sound mystical and powerful. They often reference magical concepts (Arcane, Ethereal), celestial bodies (Moon, Star), or the staff's function (Spellweaver, Runekeeper). The name should feel ancient and magical.
How do druid staff names differ from wizard staffs?
Druid staffs typically reference nature—trees, seasons, animals, or natural forces. "Oakenheart," "Stormcaller," or "Wildwood Staff" feel appropriately druidic compared to a wizard's "Arcane Spire."
Should staff names reference their magic type?
They can! A fire staff might be "Embertouch" or "Flamespire." An ice staff could be "Frostweaver" or "Winterheart." This immediately communicates the staff's power.
What about necromancer staffs?
Necromantic staffs often have darker names: "Soulreaper," "Deathwhisper," "Gravekeeper's Reach." They might reference bones, souls, shadows, or the void between life and death.
Can I name a quarterstaff used for combat?
Combat quarterstaffs can have martial names like "Boneshatter" or "Windstrike," or monk-themed names like "Harmony" or "Flowing River." They don't need to sound magical.
How do I name a legendary or artifact staff?
Legendary staffs often have names with titles: "The Staff of Ten Thousand Spells" or "Archmage Thandril's Focus." They might also have simple but imposing names like "Eternity" or "The Worldtree."
