Depending on the translation, Moses had a staff and Aaron had a rod. Both were involved in miracles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron%27s_rod. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staff_of_Moses. Staves and rods were used as symbols of power and authority, probably because of the Bible, in European history. All these things make it fitting that they would be used as instruments of power in a fantasy series.

More straightforwardly for the apocalypse, psalm 23:

--- Quote ---The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
--- End quote ---

Now Harry is obviously not a very comfortable person to be around, but he's definitely walking through the shadow of death with his rod and staff.

Conspiracy Theorist:
“Dwell in the house of the the Lord” isn’t  that house of Za Lord.

I think it was Summer Knight. It may have been both.

@Avernite: I did catch The_Sibelis's reference. It was pretty explicit.

it was one of the two 🤔
It also made me wonder if Elaine wasn't using yoni based foci lmao. Like the links of the chain are pretty suspect if you think about the general shape 😂

Well I didn't, so it was useful for me to spell it out.   ;)
(and who knows, maybe some others who hadn't caught it)
