Gandalf's defence shield/blast in all 6 films?

Can't Post

Could we get one final moment of Gandalf showcasing his ability to create his defence shield and/or blast? I've realized that in the five Middle-earth films so far, the wizard has used that spell in one way or another. Fellowship of the Ring -Shield against the Balrog's sword attack The Two Towers -Prologue of the Balrog scene in FoTR -Repulsing Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas' weapons during his first reveal (?) The Return of the King -Shield to withstand Saruman's attack at Orthanc (extended edition) -Routing the Ringwraiths as they attack the fleeing soldiers from Osgiliath An Unexpected Journey -Sending goblins flying as he arrives in Goblin-town The Desolation of Smaug -Confrontation with the Necromancer Could we see yet another display of this magical ability in There and Back Again? I really see it occuring when he stands between the charging Dwarf and Elf armies - lifting up his staff and withholding the two armies from engaging. Who knows ...

that this all seemed to be the same spell... but after you mentioned it here I realised: You're so right! Thanks for pointing that out! But I don't see other moments when he uses this magical power skills. Perhaps when he tries to destroy Saurons spell of concealment? But there are others spells he uses: BLINDING his enemies with a bright light or flash: FOTR: - He uses his staff to make light when they enter Moria TTT: - When he speaks to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli before he reveals himself - When he, Eomer and the Rohirrim attack the Uruk-hai at Helms Deep ROTK: - The Nazgûl when they attack Faramir and his rangers on their way to Minas Tirith AUJ: - Goblin Town also I guess DOS: - He uses his staff to make light when he enters the High Fells - When Azog tries to attack him he uses a flash to blind the Orcs BREAKING rocks with his staff: FOTR: - When he destroys the Bridge of Khazad-dûm TTT: - Flashback of the same scene ROTK: - AUJ: - When he breaks that rock near the Troll camp - When they escape Goblin Town and he breaks this round rock to defeat the Goblins in front of them DOS: - After he escaped Azog he destroys a bridge and wall of Dol Guldur to defeat a pack of Wargs CREATING FIRE with his staff: FOTR/TTT/ROTK/AUJ/DOS: - To light his pipe FOTR/AUJ: - To light the fireworks AUJ: - To light the pine cones to defeat the Orcs and Wargs CHANGING HIS VOICE to sound different: FOTR: When he convinces Bilbo that he's not a thief but a friend TTT: Before he reveals himself to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli he sounds like a mix of Saruman and himself AUJ: When he convinces the Dwarves that Bilbo Baggins is the right choice TALKING TO MOTHS and calling for Eagles: FOTR: When he is captured on the top of Orthanc ROTK: During the Battle of the Black Gate (although this time the moth appears to tell him about the arriving eagles) AUJ: When the company is about to fall down the cliff OTHERS: FOTR/DOS: Pushing. During his FOTR fight with Saruman in Isengard and in DOS when he fights Azog and his Orcs in Dol Guldur FOTR/ROTK/AUJ: Healing. He (alongside Elrond) heals Frodo in FOTR and ROTK and Thorin in AUJ TTT: Clearing the mind. When he frees Theodens mind of Sarumans control ROTK: Breaking Sarumans staff TTT: Lightning. When he fights the Balrog on the tops of the Misty Mountains Others?
