Gandalf the Grey had been in Gondor many times, but there was hardly any help from him against the Morgul spells... ever. Had he been that powerful, he could have helped in reclaiming Ithilien -at least before Sauron's return to Mordor. And where was he when the nazgul took the Bridge of Osgiliath?

Boromir hoped for a super-weapon... and indeed "the token" in question was stronger than Morgul spells... only it was even more evil.
