This also forms the basis for my system of wizardry. A magic-user is someone who can choose exactly when and where (or if) a waveform is observed. Gandalf's just really good at keeping his eyes shut until the exact right moment.

I don't know the one you mean, so I guess I haven't, so probably just coincidence.

I guess so. I don't want to reveal the title, to avoid spoilers. So I'll let it be a possible plot and not, simultaneously, in all of his books, the spoiler collapsing only until you read one and observe the story.
