Shiren 1 SFC:Staves
Staves (Japanese: 杖) are items that can contain a variety of useful and/or dangerous powers that Shiren can swing or throw at his enemies in 
Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer.
Usage
Charges
All staves have charges, which are displayed as a bracketed value after the name (such as [5]). This represents the number of times the staff can be swung. (There is one type of staff, the Staff of Stability, for which the number of charges is completely irrelevant. Yet, it still has them.) Staves can hold up to [99] charges. Melding (see below) with a staff that already has [99] charges will cause the excess charges to be lost in the process
Swinging
When Shiren swings a staff, he causes a magic bolt to fly away in the direction he is facing. This bolt uses one of the staff's charges. If the bolt hits a creature, it will apply the staff's effect. Bolts will travel until they hit a wall or the edge of the map - there is no limit to the range on bolts from staves.
Bolts from staves do not miss. If they collide with a creature, they will hit them.
Swinging a staff that has [0] charges will have no effect, but will still consume one turn.
Throwing
Staves can also be thrown. Throwing a staff is much like throwing an arrow: the staff will fly up to 10 squares in the direction Shiren is facing. If the staff hits a creature, it will treat it as though the creature has been hit by a bolt from that staff - with the exception that the staff will be destroyed in the process.
Unlike swinging, thrown staves can miss.
Throwing a staff will work even if the staff has [0] charges. This means that if you have used up the charges in your staff, and are desperate for the effect, throwing it is a viable option.
Melding
Multiple staves of the same type can be melded together by inserting them into a Fusion Pot. Doing so will meld them into one staff with the combined number of charges from all of them. Thus, putting a Blowback Staff [3], a Blowback Staff [4], and a Blowback Staff [5] inside a Fusion Pot will give you a Blowback Staff [12].
This process can be repeated as long as you still have staves and Fusion Pots. For more on melding, see the Melding page.
