No, staffs aren't necessary per-say, but they do add an extended sensory making spells possibly fquicker and more focused. For instance: when saruman grabbed Gandalfs staff (using telekenesis, the sneaky dog) it didn't take away gandalfs powers. It just gave saruman the upper hand. And as far as I know, when to magics contest and one is overpowered, the effect of the lesser magic is completely nullified.  Top
