: : Gandalf certainly could and did use force. What he was : : forbidden to do was to use his Power to dominate or coerce : : others to a course of action, to usurp their free will.: Gandalf is not a healer. Tukas probably couldn't heal neither : could Manwe or Aule. SOMEBODY over there had to be capable of healing. Otherwise, there was no point in sending Frodo (and all the references to Elves' being restored in mind and body in Aman would be incorrect, too).
