Staffs of Power[1][2][3][4] are tools wielded by Rahkshi.
Functionality
The staffs, while powerless themselves, allow Rahkshi to focus and direct their powers; Rahkshi have difficulty doing so otherwise.[5][6][7][8] Rahkshi variants that do not typically channel their powers through their staffs, such as Rahkshi of Heat Vision or Limited Invulnerability, still wield Staffs of Power to focus and maintain their powers.[9][10] The ends of the staffs also enhance Rahkshi's natural ability to fly, and Rahkshi can manifest the shaft of the staff at will.[11][12][13][1] The Rahkshi can also make their staffs dissapear entirely and then resummon them at will, or use the whole staffs to aid them in flight.[14]
A Rahkshi cannot use another type of Rahkshi's staff to channel their power.[15] Some Rahkshi Staffs, corresponding to Rahkshi with physical powers, manifest the same power. For example, limited invulnerability staffs are invulnerable, and elasticity staffs are able to stretch.[16]
Although wild Rahkshi generally use Staffs of Power, the Rahkshi put on display in the Archives were stripped of their tools to make them less dangerous.[17][18]

Set Information
Each of the six Rahkshi sets released in 2003 includes a Staff of Power. In addition, set 7138 Rahkshi released in 2010 depicts a Staff of Heat Vision. In set form, each Staff of Power consists of an axle representing its shaft and two spearhead pieces. Each Staff of Power features unique spearheads, with one exception: the Staff of Heat Vision features the same spearheads as the Staff of Disintegration released seven years earlier. Additionally, the Staff of Heat Vision features a longer shaft axle (12 studs long as opposed to 10 for the original six).
