*1st post, bear with me* Here's another take on why Gandalf fell, let go, or whatever he did. If you've read the Two Towers, you find out about the battle above Moria between Gandalf and the Balrog where Galdalf defeats it. Here is where he gains the power to depose Sauraman(sorta like leveling up after a big battle in any RPG). First of all, Galdalf(Olorin, one of the oldest and chiefest Miar of Manwe) knows what the Balrog truly is, and that he can defeat it. Could it be that Gandalf let him self fall so that he could rid the world of a terrible evil?
