Sauron vs Olorin 1on1

[Galorme]

[Edit: I dont think this is insulting, its just me giving some quotes]

a) they were equal in the begging: it says just this in UT p.395. Gandalf was a

lesser (but mighty) spirit of the angelic people, one coeval and equal with sauron in their begginings

b) UT also says the istari

were forbiden to reveal themselves in forms of majesty

c)In HoME X it describes how Morgoth's and Sauron's power was disipated. The Chapter is Myths Transformed, parts . Look it up yourself there is loads there. This is a good one

Sauron was greater in the second age because he had not yet squandered his power of being to gain control of others

That is why he is more powerful, or concentrated in the second age.

Thats all I can do for now, I have presents to wrap. Merry Christmas all.
