Re: Man who fotgot his name

All of the HEREN ISTARION are yes. There is a distinction.

I still have some problems with the casual usage of WIZARD when only Elrond, Galadriel and Cirdan PERHAPS knew the truth (according to your theory). Especially applied to a man (as Gandalf clearly appears to be) by Men, Hobbits, Dwarves, and Elves, but this only seems to reinforce the 'wise' aspect. Hobbits, Dwarves, Men, and Elves generally seem to accept magic use from someone termed a wizard.

I've also come across references of Sorcerors as elves, so even that definition may be suspect as mannish only. See Sorceress of the Golden wood as an example (and Sorceror once applied to Gandalf so far).
