Antiguamente una vara era también una medida de longitud.

No encuentro el interruptor de la luz (light switch? [suena divertido]), tengo miedo de tropezarme con el gato. Usa tu vara mágica para iluminar la habitación para que podamos ver!

No. Did you even read the sample sentence?

Yes, I read it, but for that reason, I made the question.

I want to know if wand and pole are the same or at least means the same.

[Tomisimo]

No, they are not the same.

I remember something my Dad used to say when I was little. If there was something I wanted and I kept on asking for it again and again, even if they said no, he would say 'Y dale Jaimito con la varita' meaning something like:' Will she ever stop?'
