Staff of the Wise

 is a weapon in SINoALICE.

Weapon Story
There once was a wizard whom many believed would be the next great sage.

In that country, such wise men were viewed as national heroes. Every year, people anxiously awaited the festival that would decide who would be heralded as the next sage.

Naturally, nationwide festivals tend to loosen the purse strings of their citizens.

Every year, people would bet on who would be appointed as sage, and great sums of money would move hands.

One man was the favorite to win that year.

When he went to perform his magic for the king,

the room buzzed with excitement.

But when he attempted to show the king what he could do, the shimmer of his staff suddenly died out,

and he was left gazing up at the sky.

Amidst the boos and hisses, the man looked in astonishment at the woman who had nominated him for sage. She was a suspicious peddler who had pushed him to buy his staff. In the end, the least favored person became sage, and the victor was given riches and fame beyond compare.
