    Yep. By the same token, if you did the same thing again at the end of the main events of the story, Gandalf’s age would have to be listed as less than 1 year old. His mortal body perished after defeating the Balrog, but he was reimbodied.

      didn’t the 5 wizards loose most of their power and memories from when they where maiar? i guess it could be the age of the mind then… gandalf didn’t loose anything when he went from gray to white.

        As I understood it, by taking mortal form they became subject to limits of the mortal mind. Or something like that.

        I mean, he didnt remeber what his name was until someone addresed him by it. It wouldnt be surprising if a few things got lost permanently after being reembodied.
