Staffs of Power are used by various characters to conduit magical energy. The most iconic Staff of power is Raven's Staff of Power which is in every episode starting from Series 2.

Appearance[]
Raven's Staff of power has a top shaped like a Raven's head and is coloured black with a bronze spiral support below. It also contains the Raven's Eye.
Series 2 to 10[]
Series 11 onward[]
Powers[]
- Telepathy - Raven uses his staff to reveal what the warriors are thinking at the start and end of each day and how they feel about the challenges faced.
- Resurrection - Raven uses his staff to bring back warriors who have been lost in challenges.
- Lightning Power - Raven can use his staff to channel energy, whether for destroying objects or Demons or in battle (generally with Nevar)
- Portals and Teleportation - Raven can use his staff to open portals such as after Warrior's Race in Series 7 and teleport warriors directly (such as with Yaeda, Karja and Taylan at The Gulley), as well as on a few occasions, himself.
- Opening doors - Raven can use his staff to open normal doors and other objects (such as the Way of The Warrior doors, the door to the Wizard's Tower and the Torture Chamber, and the treasure chest from Spider Tunnel).
Nevar's Staff of Power[]
Nevar stole the Enchanted Oak and used it to create a Staff of Power for himself; as a result, each time he uses his Staff for evil, half of his remaining life-force is taken away, taking its toll on his mind and his body. The Staff was weaker than Raven's own in terms of power, as Raven himself noted during his dual with Nevar at the end of The Secret Temple. Raven was seemingly able to destroy the Staff, but Nevar was seen with it again in his later enocunters with his nemesis. It is unknown if the Staff shown in later appearances was supposed to be the same Staff as before or another.

Demon Staffs[]
In Raven: The Island, Nevar had armed a number of his demon guards with staffs of power, taken from the stolen Enchanted Oak. The Demons' staffs are topped with a carving of a skeletal human hand holding a black orb. At least twelve of these staffs are known to have been made, as the demons featured in the challenges Demon Vanquish, The Totality Clock (two each) and Door to the Inner Chamber and Inner Chamber (four each) all carried staffs. It is likely more were also made.
