I think they'll just do the usual old grandfather chit-chat, unless someone steals their smoking pipe and blames it on the other one.

Yep. Checked the Tolien Encyclopaedia. The Maias were the angels/demi-gods and included the coloured wizards, whereas the Vaia are the equivalent of Gods (although they do have funny descriptions)

That's right... Sauron and Gandalf were of the same 'species' of demigod, if that word can be used of them - as was the Balrog. The difference was that Gandalf was placed into human form, and was banned by the Valar from actually opposing Sauron directly. The mission of the Istari - the Wizards - was to organise the defence against Sauron, not challenge him for mastership of Middle-Earth (which Saruman tried to do).
An interesting point would be to note the low-key role magic plays in Tolkien's works. 'Magic' can mean many things, from an elf-spun chameleon cloak, to a malign ring imbued with the will of a demigod, to the Wizards' abilities to turn the forces of nature to aid themselves. Gandalf's 'spells' were not some mystical formula as such, but simply him shouting at the world to tell it to do what he wants in a language it could understand. Powerful that may have been, but he had limits - "I must have something to work on. I cannot burn snow." he says. On the other hand, Elminster's magic, being D&D, is far more 'abstract' in that waving your hands and speaking certain syllables releases energy stored in the mind, but in theory spells like Abi-Dalzhim's Horrid Wilting Tancred Sauron, on the other hand, he's hard. Hard as nails. Believe it. |
