The word wield means to handle, to hold and use an item, notably a sword or similar weapon. It is used metaphorically for similar uses of unrelated items, or of authority.

Example : "The brave knight wielded his shining sword in the battle."

Example (mundanely, not bravely) : "The mother wielded an egg whisk to stir her batter."

Example : "The governor wields much political power over the Legislature."
