Gandalf imagery blends fire-light, and 5e radiant mechanics are spot on.His magic item the Ring of Fire Narya is possible for his setting things on fire, guiding the smoke rings, shaping flames. The fiery effects are at the level of a cantrip, like Fire Bolt or Control Flames. The cantrip can come from a feat, but his Ring of Fire is a satisfactory explanation.The telepathy seems angelic, and could come from his race, but will think about it.Telepathy spells need fixing in D&D, but these above examples feel like what should be a slot 2 spell that several classes have on their spell list. Telepathy is a support spell, relating to divination.The smoke rings are a minor fire effect, arguably from his fire ring. It would be like a Control Flames cantrip if permitted to manipulate the smoke as well as the flames.The Command spell, Drop, can disarm at least one of them. Perhaps a variant would increase targets with a higher spell slot.This feels more like dramatizing a Dispel Magic spell. Will think on it.Bless spell, Heroes Feast, or similar support spell.Cure Wounds, Restoration, or similar healing spell.Apparently Polymorph - will think on it.Did one of the starter sets for younger kids come with a low level spell that could transmute a target into a toad?The polymorphing is an outlier, and didnt happen, and we probably need not stat it for D&D.  If of interest, a magic item or even a miracle can handwaive it.Thaumaturgy cantrip to open and shut. Note that it failed to work on something magically locked.One might prefer to see Knock and Wizard Lock but Thaumaturgy (or even Mage Hand) is explanation enough.This might just be using a higher spell slot for a better DC.Command spell, Approach.Others made his magic items, including his ring and sword.Paladin Aura, or aura spell to counter Frightened effects. Theoden could be helped by Dispel Magic, Remove Curse, Restoration, or similar.Augury, Commune, or similar divination spell.In some ways, Gandalf personifies fire: the light of truth, the heat of passion, and the humility of ash.Radiant spells cohere with most of his firelight spells, his ring explains the minor fire effects.His attitude of humility and zealousness and compassion, feels like a Paladin oath.Altho a standard Devotion Paladin oath, his spin on it feels like helping humanoids to do Good but without violating their free will.</blockquote>
