Toxic weapon battle! Nazgūl sword vs. Bolg's poisoned arrow...

Since their damage is cured by athelas and an Elf maiden's Sindarin chants, I figured they'd be equally deadly (Power of the One Ring and direct Sauronian influence notwithstanding ) Then again, Kili, a dwarf in his prime, should be tougher than Mr. Baggins... so maybe the arrow with "poison of Mordor" (even though Sauron wasn't back in Mordor yet) is more powerful than being directly and frontally assaulted by the Witch King of Angmar...

It wasn't the witchking's sword that stabbed Frodo,

it was his dagger, the morghul blade. The orcs said Kili was shot with a morghul shaft, so I assume they work the same way. IIRC, the books say that the sliver of blade left in Frodo would have slowly worked its way to his heart and killed him.

In that it was wielded by a being 'neither living nor dead' and also then disappeared in an evil *poof* afterwards ;-), whereas Bolg's arrow had no such otherworldly qualities ... I'd have to say these things indicated the Witch King's blade was more powerful.
