Or he used powers his master didn't have to turn around and destroy his master.
Considering there were how many wizards in LoTR, it's a niche power to have/want.
But hey, lets just pretend Sauron can break magical staves and therefore magical wands when it comes down to a magic stand-off. Going from the films. Gandalf was actively trying to scare off the Witch King with his light as he had done earlier to the lesser Nazgul, though he failed later cos the Witch King's magical resolve/power was stronger. I think we call can agree this is how that fight went down.
1) Is the staff-breaking power applicable at all time, like can he look at any magical staff and destroy it, say one lying on the floor that's not being used?
2) Would Snape use a like spell as Gandalf did/try and do a magical battle-of-wills against Sauron or would he just start teleporting and casting attack spells and not bother with a magic-dick-measuring-contest?
3)If Sauron and Snape did come down to a magical battle-of-wills like Gandalf and the Witch King, is Sauron magically more powerful than Snape? Cos Snape has a shitload of spells; he's one of the more powerful HP wizards.
