BeastMan14's "Eat Staff!" Edges

Creatures: I'd like to say the Soreceror, but Saruman has a larger and more varied host with him. Not to mention zombies scare tactics won't work on the Uruk-hai, who will also keep the Snagas in line. His Warg riders will cleave through much of the enemy host, leaving only the vampires as a threat, but they won't last long against Saruman's magic. Edge: Saruman

Powers: I will agree that Saruman is nowhere near as durable as The Sorceror here, but he backs it up with equally powerful spells. The monsters she summons will be child's play compared to some things Saruman and the other wizards have faced. Not only this, but Saruman has the edge up close as well. It would absolutely devastate someone's eyes if you turned into something as bright as the sun a few feet away, not to mention the Sorceror might not even be able to close the distance. Saruman is a dozen times Gandalf's equal, and literally mopped the floor with him the first time they fought. The Sorcerer's spells could pro-long the fight, but not end it. She could heal, but that's it for useful spell. Saruman's mind is an iron vault, as it took his entire kingdom being destroyed by Ents and his master abandoning him just to get him to surrender, and even then, he was still arrogant and pretty much unchanged. So an insanity spell might do next-to-nothing. Edge: Saruman

Overall Edge: Saruman takes this. Spell-wise, he has a lot less to work with, but his spells are also equally powerful, with his main forces, the Uruk-Hai, being fearless and brutal, likely not to retreat under any circumstance. The only thing I worry about is Wormtounge, who I fear could attempt to kill Saruman if he believes the battle is lost in an attempt to appease The Sorceror. But, I do believe Saruman should take it with a little difficulty.
