Dragon Block Staff
The Dragon Block Staff is one of two magical Wingly artifacts created during the Dragon Campaign to combat Dragons and Dragoons, the other being the Dragon Buster. Said to have kept the Divine Dragon sealed for over 10,000 years, the staff can diminish the power of all nearby Dragons and Dragoons. Dart and company are on a quest to retrieve it in hopes of stopping the Dragon's attacks.
Story Revelations (Spoilers)
In Deningrad, Rose is the first to mention the staff- stating it would be needed to fight the Divine Dragon. While initially planning to ask Queen Theresa for help locating it, Rose turns her question to Meru whose loud reaction inadvertently exposes her knowledge. Meru reveals that she believes the staff to be located in the Forest of Winglies.
In the Forest of Winglies, Ancestor Blano concedes that Winglies can no longer master the staff but believes that Dragoons might be able. Revealing the staff is sealed in the ruins of Kadessa, now simply referred to as the Forbidden Land, he states that, "There is still some magic power left. And it attracts monsters." Whether he was referring to the ruins or the staff is unclear.
In a room within Kadessa, the staff is found upside down and embedded in the ceiling. Miranda notes that it seems small, but Rose rebuts that the size of an object doesn't correlate to its magical power. When Meru flies up and pulls at the staff, a large section of the rocky ceiling dislodges itself and flips over to reveal the powerful guardian Grand Jewel. After the party defeats the guardian, the staff descends slowly and is claimed by the party.
In Deningrad after the Divine Dragon's attack on the Crystal Palace, Luanna describes the staff as an enormous whirlwind, a tornado that absorbs everything.
In the Mountain of Mortal Dragon, Dart throws the Dragon Block Staff upon entering combat with the Divine Dragon. It suppresses the power of Dragons and Dragoons for the entirety of the battle, but shatters in the process.

Combat
While the Dragon Block Staff diminishes the offensive power of Dragoons and Dragons, its exact effect varies among the battles it appears. The staff does not reduce Dragoon spells which only heal or apply defensive effects.
Grand Jewel
If a Dragoon is present in the battle during its turn, the Grand Jewel will activate the Dragon Block Staff. After use, Dragoons deal 10% damage and receive 10x damage until the Grand Jewel takes 3 turns.
Divine Dragon
At the start of battle Dart will activate the Dragon Block Staff causing it to shatter. Until the battle ends: Dragoons deal 40% damage and receive 4x damage. Despite the descriptive text stating otherwise, this effect only applies to the Divine Dragon narratively and not mechanically. From this, it can be inferred that its base stats reflect its weakened state.
Melbu Frahma
While not strictly in possession of the staff, Melbu Frahma can use a visually identical ability in his 4th form if targeted by a Dragoon spell. This effect is also identical to the Grand Jewel's variant: Dragoons deal 10% damage and receive 10x damage until Melbu Frahma takes 3 turns.
