As for Nazgul magic... I always found it very interesting (and made me wish things had gone different in the Citadel) that Gandalf repeatedly stated and with no small deal of confidence that he would've been able to sort out the Witch King had Denethor's madness not detained him. When he looks out on the battlefield 'with the sight that was given him' he says he has beheld some greivous scene that for the madness of Denethor he would've been able to prevent... it makes me wonder... I've always interpretted that to mean that he would've been able to save Theoden, and spare Eowyn/Merry the torment they suffered during/following the slaying of the Witch King. Perhaps Glorfindel's phophetical statement wouldn't apply to Gandalf.... Maia as he is....though perhaps he wouldn't have killed him.... just stopped him. I have to refresh myself on the Grond/Gate business... I had heretofore been under the impression that Grond was itself forged & enchanted with some dark magic (beasts of burden would occassionally go mad while pulling it as a result, I beleive was stated.) and it alone broke the gate after three blows. I could well be mistaken, but such was my recollection when I read this.
