Re: Gandalf and Sauron

I've been thinking about this myself. the Valar and Maiar are the same thing, Ainur (I wonder which part of the song Gandalf did), only with different levels of power. Melkor is listed as the most powerfull, and for one to have the most power there need to be at least two levels. So it is very possible, maybe even definite, that Sauron would be more powerfull than any of the Istari if they were allowed to show their true power. Maybe the idea was to send many lesser Maiar but with power totaling greater to overthrow Sauron so none would become a new Dark Lord, or a much lesser Dark Lord that could be overthrown much easier, say, with the knife of an underling.

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>
