SergeiBorokov1 wrote: 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. Maybe using a staff is just an alternative 'weapon' that fairies can use, and that most fairies just prefer using wands. But I'm very confinced that Maleficent is a dark/fallen fairy and not a witch. And I hope she becomes somewhat more improtant in season 3 because I didn't like how she ended in season 2.
