Gandalf's sword was not "magical" but balrogs were evil spirits. Such evil spirits were tied to their physical incarnations. This is why Melkor was wounded by Fingolfin, why Glorfindel, Ecthelion, and Gandalf were able to kill their balrogs, why Elendil/Gil-galad were able to kill Sauron, why Saruman died the way he did, etc., etc.

Also, you guys skipped over the part where it says that Morgoth, in doing so many things, had spread himself too thin, thus weakening his central being by putting part of himself into each of his evil projects.
