Essex has just left Hobbiton.
understand all the points on the staff being a conduit of power possibly. But why do we have times when Gandalf does not use his staff? Ie on the fields of pellenor and (most importantly) in breaking Saruman's own staff.

so why the inconsistencies? ie sometimes he uses his staff, and others he doesn't? is this just a fault of tolkien? (shock, horror!)
