Where did Gandalf get his staffs from? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Now I have to add my 2 cents about the staves. I think the Istari have their own power. Then the staves have there own power. When Saruomon took Gandalf's staff Gandalf powers were then limeted but not removed. But he could of tooken his staff back when he left which I think it most likely the case. As for when he deafeated the Balrog noone was there that could see him so he used his divine powers to do that which he couldnt do in front of the fellowship for noone was suspossed to know he was a Maia. He contained the powers of a Maia and an Istari. Or were all the Istari Maia?
