What spells did Gandalf actually cast? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In the Hobbit he also used lightning and fire for protection and voice tricks on the trolls. On another note I think that we are misunderstanding what a powerful wizard is. I think that he is the most powerful because he uses his power so little. Any idiot with a few tricks can throw his weight around and get what he wants. Gandalf inspires others and invests his life into others. That is why he is remembered as powerful.
