A Nebula Wand is a Staff-class weapon found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

Basic Description

A Nebula Wand increases the wielder's base Attack rating by 165 points. They can be bought for 15200 coins and sold for 11400 coins.

A Nebula Wand is obtained by bringing an Orihalcon forgeable item to Sunshine the blacksmith in Yallam. He will forge it into an item chosen at random, the Nebula Wand being one option. The player must then buy the Nebula Wand from him. Being a Staff, it can be equipped by Ivan, Mia, Jenna, and Sheba.

Its Unleash effect is Reverse Star, which is effectively a standard physical attack that adds 58 damage points and then modifies the resulting damage based on the user's Mercury power and the target's Mercury resistance. It may also add 10% of the damage done to the user's own PP meter. Reverse Star visually resembles the user attacking the target and a large, widely elliptical, rotating white cloud being emitted on impact.

Analysis

The Nebula Wand is the most powerful Mercury-based weapon that Mia can equip. Although the both the normal attack an unleash power is lower than alternative weapons such as the Atropos' Rod and the Lachesis' Rule, if Mia's primary purpose in your party is to heal, the unleash can be very useful to maintaining her PP in long battles or battle mode.
