That's a good point. All of the fairies seen so far in OUAT have used wands to produce their power, and with the aid of fairy dust. Maleficent is in possession of a staff (and might I add, a very peculiar one with a glass-blown crystal ball and a metalic dragon at the spire of a twisting wood hilt), which means that either she is a very powerful fairy above the others or that, perhaps, dark fairies use staffs instead of wands. I like your thinking.
