That suggest to me that it was a kind of spiritual battle that Elrond fought; the fragment had to be located before it could be removed. How that was done remains a mystery - it must have some kind of surgery, but we do not read of a subsequent wound, so it must have been a special ability indeed. |
Perhaps Elrond was a Psychic Surgeon.
