Actually Gandalf had his whole strength the entire time, he was just forbidden from using it in front of the Children of Iluvatar. Just like how the kids at my daycare probably think I can’t tell colors apart or find anything, he could solve this whole problem by himself but he knows it’s better for their development if he lets them try by themselves.
That said, it is made clear that he can’t bear the ring because of the natures of the ring, its owner, and that fact that his strengths easily become weaknesses when dealing with the Ring
Thanks. That being said, if he did try to handle Sauron (not to mention going after the Witch King, the real Dark Lord of the 3rd age according to what the history books will say) and then got sent back to Valinor, I am pretty positive the Valar would have put him in in the time-out chair to think about what he did.
Thats my pet theory about what happened to the Blue Wizards. I think they strayed from the path for what they thought was the greater good, died, and then Mandos gave then a stern talking-to instead of sending them back.
I was about to say that worked out so well with Sauron, sarcastically, but I looked it up and it turns out Sauron was an Ainur which is basically a full power Maiar, or in other words Sauron is the reason the limits were established, lol.
Wizards are like specifically not full strength maiar. They were limited in order to not do too much collateral damage.

Damn, in the Amazon series he is like kinda clueless.
They shouldn’t have tried to get a series going if they couldn’t get the rights to the Silmarilliom

As the progenitor of one of these little demons you get at work, your comparison utterly cracked me up.
