Ward (Japanese: マジックシールド Magic Shield), also known as Barrier, is an uncommon staff in the Fire Emblem series. This useful weapon raises a unit's resistance by seven points (five in Awakening), thus lessening the impact of magical attacks on them. However, the effect decreases by one point per turn. In this respect, the Ward works similarly to a Pure Water in all of its appearances.
The Ward staff first appeared in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, and it has been available in all games but Gaiden, Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, and Fates; it does not appear in vanilla Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, but does appear as a white magic spell learned by the Exemplar overclass. In Thracia 776, the Magic Up staff has a similar effect, boosting magic (as magic works as both magic and resistance in Thracia 776).

Trivia
- Though not present as a staff in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Ward makes appearances it two events: Julia casts it on Seliph in Chapter 9 and Coirpre or Charlot casts it on Altena in Chapter 10; in both instances, it grants a permanent increase to Resistance.
