Along the lines of the magic bonuses referencing LOR, when Gandolf got hit with the flame lash whip from the Balrog on the bridge, he didn't take damage due to magical protection even though all he was wearing was his robes. The magic took the blow even though it strained him to hold up the shield against the force put against it. The drain of the combat was quite evident even though Gandolf never actually took physical damage from the Balrog. So would it be considered that Gandolf took hp hits due to fatigue from the combat (before the bridge collapse) or did he have full hp at the end and only drained of magical energy and in need of rest?
