thinking about how in the LotR gandalf isn't all that magical it just turns out everyone owes him favors. like sure he does magic sometimes but most of his stuff is just Knowing A Guy Who Owes Him.
- Doesn’t do all that much himself, just Knows Guys, calls in favors, and advises
- Delegates tasks to a group of less experienced people
- “Three hundred lives of men I have walked this earth and now I have no time”
- Special focus area: the mostly irrelevant group of people who eat 7 meals per day and grow all the weed
Gandalf is a very senior engineer
