I agree with Valandil - Theoden's eyes were opened. Gandalf set him free from the evil influence that Wormtongue had had on him.
Gandalf's staff may have been used to display or even transfer his power and authority - and it's also reasonable to think that Narya had something to do with it. But to set Theoden free to be persuaded by Gandalf, not to compel him to obey him.
