I quite agree that jallanite's post should be enshrined as an article
[possibly with the title]
On the Incarnation and 'clothing ' of the Ainur - with reference to Gandalf and the hroa of ressurected Elves.
It is a true masterpeice. I have been going through his many posts on the Silm forum and they show an equal depth and breadth if not size.
What say you Admins? can we make an article of Jallanite's post?
perhaps use it as a centerpeice for a BD theme on incarnating Maia?
and does anyone know where he is or how to contact him?
as for the matching power w/ power proscription of the Istari, I agree w/ whoever pointed out that that was meant to aplly to Sauron; not incedental balrogs.
By the account gandalf gave and of what we see on the bridge, Gandalf most certainly matched him power to power.
