I have one final theory about wizard staves to share, and this one is much more speculative and likely not true, but hinges on some...interesting words that Saruman has for Gandalf.

One of Tolkien’s key themes throughout his work is subcreation, the idea that as beings created by a creator God, we (or his invented elves and other races) are also by nature creative.
