Despite his prominent role, Tolkien provided little history for Gandalf's staff, making it an unfortunate mystery that The Rings of Power highlights ineffectively.
While Gandalf's staff is described as a walking aid, it undeniably holds power, serving as a crucial element in establishing his character throughout the saga.
The effort to turn the origin of Gandalf's staff into a narrative mystery is misguided, detracting from both the story and the legacy of Tolkien's work.
The mystery box approach in contemporary storytelling has exhausted itself, proven by Rings of Power's treatment of Gandalf's staff, diluting the depth of the source material.
