Morgoth Bauglir has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

how do you know that the maiar all had equally potent spirits?

if they did, then why was gandalf afraid of sauron when manwe asked him to come?

To answer my own question,one reason i think gandalf might have been afraid of sauron is because the istari had to all be clothed in the form of old men, thus containing thier true power.

Whereas, sauron did not have to be clothed in anything, and wasnt contained by really anything. He was his own master, but the istari were servants of manwe.

i HOPE that made sense, if it didnt im sorry, and btw, great post obloquy(sp?).
