I think Galadriel was supposed to be the most powerful elf still on middle earth.

I don't know that there is enough information to think about power levels in LOTR. Magic is very nebulous in that setting because it is against the rules to help mortals too much. Sauron probably didn't care about that but was disembodied and at nowhere near full strength, and I think Sarumon (sp?) couldn't draw on his full strength to be evil either, if memory serves.

I've only read the first six Shannara books, but unless the LOTR characters were hiding their powers significantly, pretty much anyone with more than a drop or two of magic would steamroll them all without much trouble. The writing for most of the books isn't as good as LOTR, and the first one is a blatant copy, but I love the differences Terry Brooks included in the books. Seeing the druid Allanon actually consistently fight in all the battles with actual attack magic made more sense and was more satisfying. I thought the Sword of Shannara was cooler than the One Ring too.

From the little I know, I would think that she's pretty far below them in terms of pure power, but arguably above them in terms of practical usage.

Even Sauron had to watch his step, he learned that the hard way with the Fall of Nmenor.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.
