Clotho's Distaff

A Clotho's Distaff is a staff in Golden Sun: The Lost Age that rarely drops from Minos Warriors in the Mars Lighthouse. As a staff, it can be equipped by Jenna, Ivan, Sheba, and Mia. It increases attack power by 168, making it the third-strongest staff in the game in terms of damage. It can be bought for 17200 coins and sold for 12900 coins.

While the staff does not have a special ability to unleash, it had a Use effect that emulates the Pure Ply Psynergy to heal an ally or oneself for around 1,000 Hit Points both in and out of battle. The extra 1,000 Hit Points are an incredible advantage in a close-pitched battle, making it a great ace-in-the-hole. However, despite its usefulness and high Attack rating, many players may regard it as inferior to other weapons due to the lack of an Unleash. The Clothos Distaff is often given to Sheba, Ivan, and Garet because it does not need to be equipped to activate it's effect. If broken, it can be repaired for 4300 coins or sold for 8600 coins.

Cultural references
In Greek mythology, Clotho is one of the three Fates, sisters who maintain and shape the flow of each person's future in the form of a great tapestry. Clotho's role is to spin the threads of life with her distaff, bringing beings into existence.

Each of the Fates has a weapon named after it in The Lost Age: Clotho's Distaff, Lachesis' Rule, and Atropos' Rod.
