So exactly how much power she has or whether or not she'd be a match for Sauron is nothing but wild conjecture.On the power of Fingolfin, keep in mind that at the time he faced Morgoth, he was the High King of the Noldor. Tolkien puts great store in power belonging to those with right - Fingolfin would have been at the absolute apex of his might - probably considerably greater than Fëanor's. And he still, inevitably, failed because Morgoth would always be able to outlast his best efforts.Honestly, this whole debate is kind of silly because it's SO FULL of massive assumptions.</blockquote>
