Jan 9, 2013 · The ancients would have seen that moment as his requesting aid from the gods. The bridge-breaking would have been the doing of a god, not the doing of a wizard. Of course, since it is, in fact, fiction, Gandalf does have a few powers an ancient shaman wouldn’t have had as listed by others here. Treebeard and Saruman. Paganism (short summary)

Jul 10, 2015 · So, in Tolkien's morality, Gandalf can reveal all of his power when in battle with an equal—the Balrog, or Saruman. In fact, when Gandalf gets his promotion to being the White, he has the natural authority to even cancel Saruman's power. It would be immoral for Gandalf to use his power directly against lesser beings, even when that would do good.
"Fireworks have no special relation to me. They appear in the books (and would have done even if I disliked them) because they are pan of the representation of Gandalf, bearer of the Ring of Fire, the Kindler: the most childlike aspect shown to the Hobbits being fireworks." (Letter 301)
Jan 24, 2022 · With Anor being Middle-earth's sun, it's theorized that Gandalf is referring to his ring having power over fire, as it's also been referred to as Ring of Fire. This could've aided him in resisting the Balrog's flames and helped repel the beast. The only other time the ring is thought to be used in The Lord of the Rings films is during the siege ...

During the Third Age, while Sauron's 'dark spirit of malice' was increasing over Middle-earth, the Valar chose the Istari, missionaries from among the Maiar, to go to Middle-earth and help the peoples. Manwë selected Olórin, who, at first, did not wish to go, as he feared Sauron. However, Manwë said that it was all the more reason why he should go....
Around T.A. 1100, the Istari and the Eldar discovered that some evil entity resided at Dol Guldur in Mirkwood. Dark shapes moved in the forest and evil began to multiply in the woods. Some thought a Nazgûlhad returned to torment the world, or some new evil was arising. Gandalf was unsure, and feared that perhaps Sauron himself might have returned. ...
Gandalf would visit the Shire occasionally and participate in the Midsummer-eve parties of the Old Took where he impressed young Hobbits with his fireworks, and his stories about Dragons, Goblins and princesses. He was thus known to be "responsible for so many quiet lads and lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures". He also met a relative...
Despite the Council's hopes, Sauron was not weakened by this attack. He had foreseen the move that drove him from Mirkwood, and his retreat was but a feint. Ten years after the attack, Sauron declared himself openly in Mordor in 2951 and rebuilt Barad-dûr. The White Council met for one last time in 2953 to debate about the Rings of Power. Saruman q...
Gandalf returned to the Shire on 12 April T.A. 3018 and proved to Frodo that Bilbo's ring was the ancient One Ring which the Dark Power of Mordor was looking for. He told Frodo that he gathered much of this information by interrogating the creature Gollum. Frodo exclaimed that Gollum should have been killed, however Gandalf speculated that perhaps ...
In Minas Tirith, Gandalf and the remaining members of the Fellowship reunited. At the coronation of King Elessar, Gandalf, at Aragorn's request, set the crown upon the King’s head, and declared "Now come the days of the King, and may they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure!". Thus Gandalf ushered in the new age of men. After the coron...

Dec 9, 2012 · Gandalf is making three very specific references as both warning and challenge to the Balrog. By identifying himself as a servant of the Secret Fire (or Flame Imperishable), Gandalf is identifying himself as a Maia, an embodied angelic servant of the Valar protecting the light of Creation that Eru Ilúvatar (or God) has set to burn at the centre of Arda (Earth).
