Re: Gandalf Theme Poll Question

I answered Shadowfax.

I took the poll at face value, rather than as a trick
question about &quot;possession&quot; etc.

The wands are a potent part of the wizard's own power, but
didn't Gandalf break his own on the Bridge of Kazaddum? He
was still able to defeat the Balrog without it, though he
made good use of Glamdring, I'm sure.

Narya was indeed potent, and a great help to Gandalf.

But I chose Shadowfax because the great beast was indeed
NOT an artifact or devise or weapon! Shadowfax of his own
will gave Gandalf exactly what was needed, being in the
right place at the right time.

I would like to think that Gandalf could have improvised
around the loss of any other item, but being WHERE he needed
to be WHEN he needed to be there was absolutely indispensible.

Not even the eagles could have done that.
