Does it say that he didn't use his staff while breaking Saruman's staff? Let me grab the book. . .

Hm. It says that he 'raised his hand' and nothing else. And yet. . .you'd think that with such a thing happening, Saruman's power being taken from him and then the staff being broken, that Tolkien wouldn't have made a mistake while concerning with Gandalf's staff.

I don't know.
