Gandalf isn't a wizardHe's a fighter with enoughmagic items to trick peopleinto thinking He's a wizard
>>98236339No? He's literally an incarnated angel. His magical items are like, a sword.
>>98236339Gandalf uses a magic staff to cast light, is great with trickery (see Bilbo's encounter with the three trolls, or tricking Roman's soldiers into letting him keep his staff) and is can craft interesting items like fireworks.He wears no armor and can fight but generally prefers to stay out of the frontline.He's clearly a high level thief.
>>98236339Book: Gandalf is an angel sent by God to guide the free people in their struggle against a demon.Fans: he's a generic wizard dude.
>>98236339Gandalf is clearly a Sha'ir 4 / Geomancer 4 / Dragonslayer 1 / Runesmith 2 / Abjurant Champion 5 / Spell Sword 4.
>>98236339Based, just like Jafar, or any of the old dudes Conan killed. Wizard literally means wise-ard ie “guy who knows shit”. Arcane magic was a con all along.
>>98236904Wow, it's just like Penn and Teller have been trying to tell us all along, real magic isn't real.
Damn Tolkien's wife was fucking beautiful.
>>98238150do you have permission to use that image?
What the fuck is this shit? Filmlets? Gandalf absolutely has magic powers, he shoots fucking lightning bolts at the nazgul on weathertop and can morph water into stampeding horses.There's a line when they're trying to cross the Misty Mountains where Gandalf says he could pull off some magic shit so fucking extravagant that Saruman and maybe even Sauron would be able to detect the reverberations of it hundreds of miles away.
>>98238150She looks 13 here
>>98236339Ok how did this come up in your last night of traditional games?
>>98236339>man in a dressLiteral woke garbage. Tolkien was a leftist liberal basedboy gay agenda pushing faggot.
gandalf is a fraud
>>98236412>>98236712He mostly uses items to do magic. the magic ring ofc, sword, and staff. and usually he has to use a catalyst on top of that to do anything magical, weither that be using pinecones to throw fire balls or light on his staff.TBF, most of tolkiens magic is insinuated to be more like secrete knowledge or technology rather than something based on some kind of nebulous mana pool, just a higher level of understanding of how the world works. There is that quote where galadrial is trying to explain to the hobbits about how the seeing pool worked and she was a bit confused about why they thought of it as magic. Same with aragorn just knowing a certain herb can help in healing, that was considered a sort of magic.
>>98236904It's weird how many posters on this board bring up Conan only to immediately show everyone they've never actually read it.
>>98238150Pic not related, I assume.
>>98240566Yeah, if anything they should be talking about Kull, as Conan is just Kull for tourists.
>>98238846kino, the Warcraft 3rd edition port will always have a special place in my heart
>>98239476I blame them for not knowing how to explain things; how can they even think of talking to a farmer who can barely write about advanced physics and chemistry?
