Mithrandir is here described conservatively, and while I have not tested him against a moderate version of the Balrog of Khazad-Dum, I have tried to make his abilities correspond to a careful interpetation of the books. HOWEVER: he is laden with Special Abilities that offend me, but might be important to a fervant teenage player of this game. Hence, any devoted student of Arda should excise all Special Abilities from Mithrandir. The Special Abilities truly tire me, but I cannot help but feel compassionate towards the damn Diablo fans.
