<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> How can this lightining kill a powerful servant of Morgoth? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>You could argue that since Glamdring was out of Gondolin, where quite a few Balrogs got there tails whooped, that the lightning was reasonable. The lightning was a bit much to us know it alls, since we understand that Glamdring itself could get the Balrog. But our ignorant friends (i.e. non readers) would have no idea of Glamdring's origins (or about Gondolin at all) and would be confused if a 'normal' sword just killed this thing that Gandalf's been fighting with for hours/days (I don't know) in one stroke. Sorry, I know that's a very confusing explanation.
