| | Middle Earth Meets Poker |
 | | One day, unaware of the dangers, a dwarf entered the forest in search of treasures, stumbled across the table, and was confronted by the great wizard. | | | Along with scars however, the wizard had acquired knowledge with which he could defeat this dwarf. | | | If the wizard stands by and does nothing but simply check when it is his turn to act, then the dwarf will poke at the treasure with a bet to see if the wizard is willing to fight for it. |

| | Saruman |
| | He was said to have been the first of the Wizards to arrive in Middle-earth, although according to another story he was asked by Aule's spouse Yavanna to bring the Wizard Radagast with him. | | | The Wizards' mission was to help the free peoples of Middle-earth in their struggle against Sauron without seeking domination or power for themselves. | | | He had turned to evil and sought to establish dominion over Middle-earth and the Valar decided to send emissaries oppose him. |

| | Christian Truth and Middle-earth Myth |
| | While the magic of Middle-earth's elves and wizards is not technological but natural or (rarely) supernatural, the analogy holds. | | | The wizards were all on the side of Good when they were sent to Middle-earth, their mission to encourage good wherever they could find it, and hinder evil wherever it sprouted. | | | A wizard may use his supernatural magical powers with either good or evil intent. |

| | The Blue Wizards are said to have come with him to Middle-earth, but again, they were not sent to bolster Elrond's forces, but rather to weaken Sauron's, to disestablish his influence in the East. | | | However, in 1996, when the twelfth book of the History of Middle Earth, The Peoples of Middle-Earth, was published, a new perspective on the Blue Wizards was revealed--a perspective that ran against the very information contained in essentially all previous sources on the two missing wizards. | | | In it, Gandalf is stated to be the only successful Istar, which first hints at the idea that the Blue Wizards failed their mission: "Indeed, of all the Istari, only one remained faithful, and he was the last-comer" (Unfinished Tales). |

For a more detailed understanding of the maiar and the gods of Middle Earth I would suggest The Silmarillion. | | | Sauron was originally one of the maiar and therefore very powerful, and so in order to aid the peoples of Middle Earth in their fight against Sauron a few of the maiar were sent to help disguised as men. | | | As was previously mentioned 2 of the wizards went east and were never heard of again. |
