Well, the problem is, he could just change things at an atomic level. By saying

in a certain tone he could cause certain vibrations which at an atomic level cause hydrogen atoms to combust in the nearest available place. You just don't know with wizards.
Basically, if you go down to an atomic level, everything in ME can be explained by science. Obviously the Ainur would know how to harness it, as they took part in creating it. This would explain their powers. Knowledge is power. Basically, the Ainu did not use magic, as such, they just knew how to alter things and go between the rules of science. Take Balrogs, for eample. They may have taken part in singing the part of the Music about fire, so they know everything that they made, so they can control fire, to an extent. This might explain why some Ainur have different "powers".
Before you finish reading this post, just spare a thougt for
quantum fluctuation, the theory that particles can appear out of nothing, and think, if that is possible, what can't be.
