| Nov 1, 2013 at 23:23 | comment | added | Oldcat | Disagree - if that were so, Gandalf would have just used Maiar powers to wipe out the army around Minas Tirith, and all the need to bring Rohan or Aragorn to help were just wastes of time. It is a good way to show that the WK and his army were supreme in that moment, until the forces Gandalf had set into motion arrived and changed things. | |

Very different levels of power, so I don't think there's a internally consistent way of how the Witch-King shattered Gandalf's staff unless you ignore the books completely and treat the movies as a separate world. In which case, the Force, a Care Bear Stare or the power of Heart all work. ;) | |
