They fought mid fall ALL THE WAY DOWN, FOR A PRETTY LONG TIME. Then they landed in deep water and it became more slime than fire, and he fought it til it ran off through the caves to the outside world. Then he followed it up a thousand steps to a ancient tower, where to the locals it must have looked "like a storm" as he described it. Then he threw the balrog off the side of the mountain. Then Gandalf basically died and came back. SO YEAH, GANDALF'S TERRIFYING. READ THE BOOKS.
Darkmatter said True magical ability would no longer come from the sand directly that would have waned significantly, but through a secondary connection to a god with the sand as a conduit if that makes sense? A rare occurrence.
