Luthien was powerful, yes, but what are "maian powers"? There were lots of different Maiar with lots of different personalities and proficiencies. I think the question reflects a misunderstanding of power in Tolkien, which is why I was being difficult. Any thread that contains the phrase "all the magicks" should be moved to the novices forum, if not deleted.
