Re: Ad: Balrogs, yet again.

If it is so stated, then yes! By definition, as the writer defined it. The properties of Narya were not such that one could throw fireballs or lightning with it. In that it "kindled" spirits to valour, then it had uses in battle, but it was evidently not of any direct use.
