Why did Gandalf use a sword against the Balrog?
2019年8月10日 · Moments later when Gandalf and the balrog are falling into the abyss, Gandalf repeatedly stabs his foe with a sword. We don't see him use any magic against the balrog.

the lord of the rings - What did Gandalf mean when he told the …
2017年3月3日 · A literal reading is therefore incorrect; what Gandalf is in fact saying to the Balrog is the equivalent of Feanor's "Get thee gone from my gate, thou jail-crow of Mandos!" or "Get thee gone, and take thy due place!". His use of capitalized "Shadow" is him letting the Balrog know that he knows what it is and what it represents; nothing more.

tolkiens legendarium - How could Gandalf beat the Balrog?
2015年7月6日 · Gandalf uses lighting magic against both the ringwraiths and the Balrog. The only time we seem him manipulate fire are through his staff on he mountain pass and with the tree branch in the fight against the orcs before Moria, rather strange if he had a level 7 ring of fire.
