Consider this: Frodo is the mouse
Yup. As a maiar, this is basically what Gandalf did.
This is a maiar?
Tolkien stated that "Maia is the name of the Kin of the Valar, but especially of those of lesser power than the 9 great rulers". In the Valaquenta, Tolkien wrote that the Maiar are "spirits whose being also began before the world, of the same order as the Valar but of less degree".
Basically the same thing Sauron was before he made the rings and corrupted himself for power.
So Gandalf did a maiar?
He did the maiar mash! It was a middle earth smash!
