Alright, look at it this way - in
archetypical terms, what are the
characteristic SIGN and SIGNIFIERS
that allow you to RECOGNISE The
Doctor.
And it's clearly one of those.
So you can get rid of it if you like,
but it won't work (and it didn't) -
because Archetypes reassert
THEMSELVES.

Yes and No -
As has been noted, in both of
Christopher Bailey's Mara
stories, The Chorister spends a
whole episode in Prison - Kinda
episode 2 and Snakedance
episode 3 - and has to be let
out of his box/cage by some
outside agency - the
enlightenment and revelation
inside of the Box of Jhanna in
the former and the faith, belief
and compassion of an ordinary
man in the latter.






"phase oscillator, quantum charge
emitter.
The end result would have been
the same, whatever tool based
task he was doing either worked
or didn't.
It shouldn't be a magic wand that
substitutes for a lacking on the
part of the doctor, it should make
the doctor more effective, not be
what makes him effective."



And it isn't, and it doesn't -

• Moses and Aaron and
Rassilon carry Rods because
they are the embodiment of
The Law,
• Thor carries a Hammer
because he smashes things
and builds stuff,
• The Doctor carries a
screwdriver because he fixes
things and makes people
better.
