Whatever Staff

The Whatever Staff is a magical weapon with transformative powers. The name "Whatever Staff" was given by Seiko Yoshida, as she and Lilith could not remember its full name (only that it sounded "western" and began with an A).

An heirloom of the Yoshida family, the staff previously belonged to Joshua, but following his sealing 10 years prior it laid buried in the rubble of the Abandoned Factory until it was rediscovered by Yuko Yoshida, who has kept it since.

Appearance
The staff's original appearance was a small rod with a star-shaped gem at the tip, a cloth ribbon tied around it, and plant buds sprouting from its base. When Yuko took hold of it, it took the form of an ordinary fork, which has become its default appearance.

Abilities
The staff has the power to transform into "anything resembling a stick", though using the wielder's own definition of a "stick". For example, Yuko could transform the staff into a paper fan, but when Momo Chiyoda and Ryoko Yoshida convinced her a fan should not count as a stick, the staff reverted automatically. As Yuko tends to consider anything with a handle as a stick, it is able to transform into a variety of everyday objects in the real world.

Within dreams, it can turn into fantastic "cheat weapons" with a variety of properties, even those not normally thought possible. Yuko has also successfully replicated items from legend and fiction, later even manifesting an "original legendary weapon" of her own invention. Under the right conditions, the staff can even transform into such weapons in the real world. The drawback is that those transformations can use up a lot of mana, limiting their effectiveness.

The weilder's belief has shown to be more important to the staff's ability to function than the practicality of the design itself, as Yuko's replica of Mikan's crossbow, while shoddily made, still worked correctly.
