The Staff originally belonged to Clow Reed, a powerful magician who put it into the Clow Book so his successor could catch the cards and use them more easily.
In a vision, Sakura met Clow who told her that the Wand had the Star because Sakura's powers came from the stars. This form retained all the powers of the old one, but also gave Sakura the power to change the cards into Sakura Cards.
In the Clear Card Arc Sakura has obtained her new wand of dream power. This wand is specifically designed to seal and unitize the Clear Cards but not all fifty-three Star Cards.
