The 'Rod of Rassilon' is said to be able to open the floor of the Panoptican in the citadel on Gallifrey like a key, therefore allowing a black hexagonal obelisk to rise from the floor containing the Eye of Harmony. This however is a dangerous feat, as, if opened, the Eye of Harmony acts like any other black hole, sucking in its surroundings.

The Rod of Rassilon was one of the artefacts of Rassilon. Together with the Sash of Rassilon, it could be used to raise the control structure for the Eye of Harmony located beneath the Panopticon on Gallifrey.

The Rod slotted into the control structure (a black obelisk), allowing the person wielding it (wearing the Sash of Rassilon) to disengage the control interfaces and gain access to the power of the Eye of Harmony. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)

The Rod was also given, along with the Sash of Rassilon and the Crown of Rassilon, to Presidents upon being made Lord President of Gallifrey, believed to be of "only sentimental value". (TV: The Invasion of Time)

The Rod was not to be confused with the Staff of Rassilon, which was held by the Fifth Doctor as part of a Presidential dress he was forced to wear. (AUDIO: Time in Office)

The Rod would be stolen by the Time Lord criminal known as the Eleven. (AUDIO: The Eleven)
